Procedure:
- Draw a circle with centre O.
- Take any four points A, B, C, D on the circumference of the circles.
- Join AB, BC, CD, DA on the circles
- Identify the quadrilateral on the circle
- What you called for this type of quadrilaterals?
- What is cyclic quadrilaterals?
- Identify and measure the angles in the cyclic quadrilaterals?
- Identify pair of opposite angles in cyclic quadrilaterals?
- What is the sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral ?what is your conclusion?
Evaluation at the end of the activity
- If one of the angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 30°, then what will the value of its opposite angle ?
- Find the value of angle D of a cyclic quadrilateral, if angle B is 60°?
