In this problem, we're going to explain why any trapezoid that can be inscribed in a circle must be an isosceles trapezoid. in this figure, let's assume without loss of generality that segments ab and dc are parallel. by the end of this problem, we want to show that ∠d ≅ ∠c.

1. explain why ∠a must be supplementary to ∠d.

2. explain why ∠a must also be supplementary to ∠c.

3. now we know that ∠a is supplementary to ∠d and is also supplementary to ∠c. explain why that proves that ∠d must be congruent to ∠c.

1. By co-interior angles

2.by property of cyclic trapezoid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a trapezoid that can be inscribed in a circle. we have to prove ∠D ≅ ∠C. by the end of problem.

As ABCD is a trapezoid.

⇒ AB||DC

Since, AB||DC ∴ ∠BAD and ∠CDA are the co-interior angles. As a result, the sum of above two is 180° i.e these two are supplementary.

Hence, ∠A must be supplementary to ∠D.

2. As the trapezoid is inscribed in a circle which means trapezoid is cyclic.

⇒ The sum of the opposite angles of a cyclic trapezoid is supplementary.

Hence, ∠A must also be supplementary to ∠C.

Now, ∠A is supplementary to ∠D and is also supplementary to ∠C.

i.e ∠A + ∠D = 180°  →   (1)

   ∠A + ∠C=180°    →   (2)

From (1) and (2), we get

∠A + ∠D = ∠A + ∠C

⇒ ∠D = ∠C

Hence, ∠D must be congruent to ∠C.

nickels=150 which is 1.50 cents

dimes=300 which is 3.00 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

nickels=30 times 5

dimes=30 times 10
