Given: ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral with centre O.
Since, OA=OB=OC=OD [Radii of the same circle]
∴ Triangles OAB, OBC, OCD and ODA are isosceles, so their base angles are equal:
∠OAB∠OBC∠OCD∠ODA=∠OBA=p,=∠OCB=q,=∠ODC=u,=∠OAD=v
Now, the radius at each vertex divides that angle into two parts, so
∠A∠B∠C∠D=p+v,=p+q,=q+u,=u+v
Since the sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360∘,
∠A+∠B+∠C+∠D2(p+q+u+v)∴p+q+u+v=360∘=360∘=180∘
Therefore,
∠A+∠C∠B+∠D=(p+v)+(q+u)=180∘=(p+q)+(u+v)=180∘
Hence, the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.
Hence proved.
