PROVE A QUAD IS CYCLIC OR A LINE IS A TANGENT?
Prove that two lines are parallel
Prove a pair of corresponding angles or alternate angles equal or that the sum of a pair of co-interior ngles
is supplementary (180°).
Prove that a quadrilateral is cyclic (or that four points are concyclic) We can use Theorems 4b or 5b
to prove that a quadrilateral is cyclic. Cyclic means that it is possible to construct a circle through all four
vertices of the quadrilateral.
If a line segment joining two points subtends equal angles at two other points on the same side of a line
segment, these four points are concyclic.
