Question:

ABCDABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral inscribed in a circle. If A\angle A measures 7575^{\circ}, what is the measure of C\angle C?
If B\angle B measures 110110^{\circ}, what is the measure of D\angle D?

Answer: Verified

In a cyclic quadrilateral, opposite angles sum to 180180^\circ.

A+C=180C=18075=105.\angle A + \angle C = 180^\circ \Rightarrow \angle C = 180^\circ - 75^\circ = 105^\circ.

B+D=180D=180110=70.\angle B + \angle D = 180^\circ \Rightarrow \angle D = 180^\circ - 110^\circ = 70^\circ.

Caution
Students should remember that in a cyclic quadrilateral only the opposite angles are supplementary (sum to 180180^{\circ}), not the adjacent angles.
