1. Problem Description
The problem states that is a cyclic quadrilateral with and . is the diameter of the circle, and .
(a) We need to determine the special name given to cyclic quadrilateral .
(b) We need to find the measures of and .
2. Solution Steps
(a) Since and , the quadrilateral has two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length. This makes it a kite. Since is a cyclic quadrilateral, it is a cyclic kite. Since is the diameter, it cuts the kite into two right triangles so is a special kind of cyclic kite.
(b) (i) We are given that . Since angles subtended by the same chord at the circumference are equal, .
Also, since is the diameter, and . In , we have .
Since , . Since is a diameter, and . is the angle we are seeking.
Since , but we don't know .
Since and , .
Since , is an isosceles triangle, so , hence .
Also . . Hence .
In , , so , which implies .
(ii) Since is a diameter, .
3. Final Answer
(a) Kite
(b) (i)
(ii)
