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?
Sl no. | Quadrilateral | Angles | Pair of Opposite angles 1 | Pair of opposite angles 2 | Sum of opposite angles1 | Sum of opposite angles 2 | Conclusion | |||
