单词 OpposingAnglesInACyclicQuadrilateralAreSupplementary
释义

opposing angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary


Theorem 1.

[Euclid, Book III, Prop. 22] If a quadrilateralMathworldPlanetmath is inscribedMathworldPlanetmath in a circle, then opposite angles of the quadrilateral sum to 180.

Proof.

Let ABCD be a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle

..OABCD

Note that BAD subtends arc BCD and BCD subtends arc BAD. Now, since a circumferential angle is half the corresponding central angle, we see that BAD+BCD is one half of the sum of the two angles BOD at O. But the sum of these two angles is 360, so that

BAD+BCD=180

Similarly, the sum of the other two opposing angles is also 180.∎
