Q:
Consider the following statements:
1) An isosceles trapezium is always cyclic.
2) Any cyclic parallelogram is a rectangle.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: C) Both 1 and 2
Explanation: Since it is an isosceles trapezium
So angle C = angle D = x
let A = 180 –D = 180 –x (since AB is parallel to CD)
B = 180-x
A+C = 180 –x + x = 180 degrees (Property of cyclic quadrilateral)
ABCD is cyclic parallelogram with AB // CD and AD // BC
Considering angles A = C = y (Property of parallelogram) and B=D = x Also since it is cyclic A+C = B+D = 180 degrees
So x=y=90 degrees And also opposite sides are equal being a parallelogram
Thus ABCD is a rectangle
