Q4 of 63 Page 156

In figure, some angles have been marked with a, b, c and d. Find the measures of these angles.

We know that in a cyclic quadrilateral, the exterior angle formed by producing one side of a quadrilateral is equal to its interior opposite angle.


a = 65° and c = 91°


We know that the pair of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is supplementary i.e. sum is 180°.


Firstly, a + d = 180°


65° + d = 180°


d = 180° - 65°


d = 115°


Similarly, b + c = 180°


b + 91° = 180°


b = 180° - 91°


b = 89°


a = 65°, b = 89°, c = 91° and d = 115°
