1. Problem Description
We are given a cyclic quadrilateral inscribed in a circle. The angles are given as follows: , , , . We need to find the value of .
2. Solution Steps
In a cyclic quadrilateral, opposite angles are supplementary, meaning they add up to . Therefore, we have two equations:
Substituting the given values, we get:
Now we have a system of two linear equations with two variables:
We can multiply the first equation by 2 to eliminate :
Subtract the second equation from the modified first equation:
Now we can find the value of :
We can verify our solution by plugging the values of and into the second equation:
So, the value of is .
3. Final Answer
The value of is .
A.
