Question

Quadrilateral EFGH is inscribed inside a circle as shown below. Write a proof showing that angles H and F are supplementary.

Answer 1

Given

Find

showing that angles H and F are supplementary.

Step-by-step explanation

Let angle F , which is subtended by minor arc GHE.

so , angle F = half of angle GHE by subtended angle theorem.

similarly , angle H is the angle subtended by major arc GFE.

so , angle H = half of the angle subtended by major arc.

since , total angle around J is 360 degree.

as we know , the sum of angle subtended by minor arc and major arc is 360 degree.

so , angle F + angle H = 1/2(360) = 180 degree.

Final Answer'

Hence , H and F are supplementary angles.
