Given: A circle with inscribed quadrilateral ABCD
Prove: ∠A and ∠C are supplementary.
✓ 1. Let m#& \overset{\frown}{\sf DCB}#& = a°
Then m#& \overset{\frown}{\sf DAB}#& =
.
✓ 2. By the inscribed angle theorem, m∠A =
.
✓ 3. Also by the inscribed angle theorem, m∠C =
.
✓ 4. Therefore, m∠A + m∠C =
#&\frac{a}{\sf 2} + \frac{{\sf 360} - a}{\sf 2}#&,
which simplifies to
.
✓ 5. Therefore, m∠A and m∠C are
by the definition of supplementary angles.
