Procedure:

1. Draw a circle with centre O.
2. Take any four points A, B, C, D on the circumference of the circles.
3. Join AB, BC, CD, DA on the circles
4. Identify the quadrilateral on the circle
5. What you called for this type of quadrilaterals?
6. What is cyclic quadrilaterals?
7. Identify and measure the angles in the cyclic quadrilaterals?
8. Identify pair of opposite angles in cyclic quadrilaterals?
9. What is the sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral ?what is your conclusion?
