Prove that a cyclic trapezium is an isosceles trapezium.

WBBSE Class X Mathematics Theorems Related To Cyclic Quadrilateral 03 Mark 2023

Answer

Prove that a cyclic trapezium is an isosceles trapezium

ABCD is a cyclic trapezium of which AD || BC

AB = DC or ABCD is a rectangle and AC = BD.

∠ADC + ∠DCB = 180° [∠ AD || BC and DC is transversal]

Again, ∠BAD + ∠DCB = 180° [∠ ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral]

∴ ∠ADC + ∠DCB = ∠BAD + ∠DCB ∴ ∠ADC = ∠BAD ..

In ∆BAD and ∆ADC, ∠BAD = ∠ADC [From (1) we get]

∠ABD = ∠DCA [∴ Angles in the same segment]

AD is common side

∴ ∆BAD = ∆ADC [A-A-S congruence property]

∴ AB = DC .. ABCD is an isosceles trapezium or a rectangle and AC = BD (Similar part of congruent triangle) [Proved]
