12 multiple-choice questions, progressively harder.
Which description defines the cyclic quadrilaterals studied in this lesson?
Solution
Correct answer: B
Cyclicity requires all four vertices on the same circle. The lesson also requires distinct vertices and convex boundary order. Being inside the disk, having only three circle vertices, or crossing the sides does not meet those conditions.
In convex quadrilateral ABCDABCDABCD named in boundary order, which whole angle is opposite ∠DAB\angle DAB∠DAB?
Correct answer: D
The given angle is at A. Its opposite vertex is C, whose whole interior angle is BCD. B and D are consecutive to A, and BAC is only a part at A.
Convex cyclic quadrilateral ABCDABCDABCD has m∠DAB=58∘m\angle DAB=58^\circm∠DAB=58∘. Find m∠BCDm\angle BCDm∠BCD.
Correct answer: A
A and C are opposite, so subtract the given angle from a straight angle.
Convex cyclic quadrilateral PQRSPQRSPQRS has m∠PQR=131∘m\angle PQR=131^\circm∠PQR=131∘. Find m∠RSPm\angle RSPm∠RSP.
Correct answer: C
Q and S are opposite vertices.
In convex cyclic ABCDABCDABCD, side BCBCBC is extended through CCC to EEE. Which interior angle equals exterior angle DCEDCEDCE?
The exterior angle at C equals the opposite interior angle at A. Both are supplements of the interior angle BCD.
In convex cyclic ABCDABCDABCD, B,C,EB,C,EB,C,E are collinear in that order and m∠DCE=84∘m\angle DCE=84^\circm∠DCE=84∘. Find interior angle BCDBCDBCD.
The exterior angle and the whole interior angle at C form a linear pair.
Which relation holds for every convex cyclic quadrilateral ABCDABCDABCD in boundary order?
A and C are opposite. Their intercepted arcs complete one circle, so the angle sum is half a full turn.
A convex quadrilateral ABCDABCDABCD has four distinct vertices, no three collinear, and opposite angles A=91∘A=91^\circA=91∘ and C=89∘C=89^\circC=89∘. What follows?
The opposite angles satisfy the converse's hypothesis.
They need not be equal or right, so a rectangle or perpendicular diagonals is not forced.
A convex quadrilateral ABCDABCDABCD has whole interior angles A=80∘A=80^\circA=80∘ and C=101∘C=101^\circC=101∘. Which conclusion is justified?
Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral must total 180 degrees. Here they do not.
In the opposite-angle proof for cyclic ABCDABCDABCD, angle DABDABDAB intercepts arc BCDBCDBCD and angle BCDBCDBCD intercepts arc DABDABDAB. Why do the two angle measures sum to 180∘180^\circ180∘?
The arcs have the same endpoints B,D and disjoint interiors. Together they make the full circle, so halving their total gives the sum of the two angles.
Four distinct circle points occur around the circle as A,B,C,DA,B,C,DA,B,C,D. Which proposed quadrilateral is outside this lesson's convex boundary-order convention?
ACBD joins A to C and B to D as two sides. Those diagonals of the boundary quadrilateral cross. The other orders follow the boundary, starting elsewhere or in the reverse direction.
Three noncollinear vertices A,B,CA,B,CA,B,C determine a circle. A fourth point DDD makes convex ABCDABCDABCD in boundary order. Which extra fact guarantees that DDD lies on that circle?
The opposite-angle sum establishes cyclicity. The circle through A,B,C is unique, so the circle supplied by the converse is that same circle. The other facts do not put D on its boundary.
