The image contains a geometric problem with multiple parts related to a cyclic quadrilateral inscribed in a circle. Below is a summary of the questions and the steps needed to solve them.
Given Information:
- is a diameter of the circle.
- and are tangents to the circle at points and respectively.
- .
Questions and Solutions:
Q21: The measure of . Calculate and write the measure of .
- Solution: Since is the diameter and subtends the diameter, . Given , .
Q22: Is triangle a right-angled triangle? Justify your answer.
- Solution: is not a right-angled triangle because it was determined .
Q23: The sum of the opposite sides of a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle equals the sum of two sides. Justify your answer.
- Solution: This is true for any cyclic quadrilateral due to Ptolemy's Theorem. Therefore, .
