 Problem 77. Angles in a circle, Cyclic Quadrilateral, Parallel lines. Level: High School, SAT Prep, College

 

 

Given a circle (1), the lines AED (2) and BFC (3). If AB is parallel to CD, prove that the angles AFB and AEB are equal.

Problem: Angles in a circle, parallel lines, cyclic quadrilateral

 

 

 

HINTS:


PARALLEL LINES

Proposition. If two lines are parallel, each pair of alternate interior angles are congruent. Also converse.


 


ANGLES IN A CIRCLE

Proposition.  An inscribed angle is measured by one-half its intercepted arc.
 


CYCLIC QUADRILATERAL is a quadrilateral whose vertices all lie on a single circle.

Proposition 1. Opposite angles of a cyclic (inscribed) quadrilateral are supplementary. Also converse.
 


 

Proposition 2. A quadrilateral is cyclic if one side subtends congruent angles at the two opposite vertices. Also converse.
