A
Fluency & Practice
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
In a cyclic quadrilateral, two opposite angles are 65° and 115°. Are these angles correctly identified as opposite angles? Explain your answer.
[2 marks]2.
Calculate the measure of an angle opposite a 70° angle in a cyclic quadrilateral.
[2 marks]3.
True or False: Opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are always equal.
[1 mark]4.
If one pair of opposite angles in a quadrilateral are both 90°, is the quadrilateral necessarily cyclic? Explain your reasoning.
[3 marks]B
Problem Solving & Reasoning
Answer all questions. Show detailed working.
1.
In a cyclic quadrilateral, the measure of one angle is 120°. What are the measures of its opposite angles? Justify your answer.
[3 marks]2.
A quadrilateral has angles measuring 80°, 100°, 60°, and x°. If the quadrilateral is cyclic, find x and explain your reasoning.
[3 marks]3.
Construct a cyclic quadrilateral where two opposite angles are 85° and 95°. Calculate the other two angles and verify their correctness.
[4 marks]C
Real-world Applications
Answer all questions with reasoning.
1.
A circular table has a quadrilateral pattern painted on it. If two opposite angles where the pattern meets are 70° and 110°, are these angles correctly positioned as opposite angles? Explain why or why not.
[3 marks]D
Challenge & Extension
Attempt these advanced questions. Show your reasoning.
1.
Prove that in any cyclic quadrilateral, the opposite angles are supplementary using circle theorems.
[4 marks]2.
A cyclic quadrilateral has one angle measuring 100°. What is the measure of the angle opposite to it? Explain your reasoning.
[3 marks]E
Mixed Review
Answer all questions to review key concepts.
1.
Identify and correct the mistake in the following statement: 'In any quadrilateral, if two angles are 90°, then the angles are opposite.'
