Question:

ABCDABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral inscribed in a circle. If ∠A\angle A measures 75∘75^{\circ}, what is the measure of ∠C\angle C?
If ∠B\angle B measures 110∘110^{\circ}, what is the measure of ∠D\angle D?

Answer: Verified

In a cyclic quadrilateral, opposite angles sum to 180∘180^\circ.

∠A+∠C=180∘⇒∠C=180∘−75∘=105∘.\angle A + \angle C = 180^\circ \Rightarrow \angle C = 180^\circ - 75^\circ = 105^\circ.

∠B+∠D=180∘⇒∠D=180∘−110∘=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 180∘180^{\circ}), not the adjacent angles.
