  • A quadrilateral is said to be inscribed in a circle if all four vertices of the quadrilateral lie on the circle. Quadrilaterals that can be inscribed in circles are known as cyclic quadrilaterals. The quadrilateral below is a cyclic quadrilateral.
    ::如果四边形的所有四个顶点都位于圆上,则四边形被刻在一个圆圈中。圆圈中可以刻入圆圈的四边形被称为环形四边形。下面的四边形是环形四边形。

    Cyclic Quadrilateral D C B E A D C B E D C B E D C B E Cyclic Quadrilateral

    Not all quadrilaterals can be inscribed in circles and so not all quadrilaterals are cyclic quadrilaterals. A quadrilateral is cyclic if and only if its  opposite angles are  supplementary
    ::并非所有的四边形都可被刻在圆圈中,因此并非所有的四边形都是环形四边形。 四边形是环形四边形的,如果而且只有在相反角度是辅助性的,四边形是环形的。


    Proving Supplementary Angles  
    ::证明补充角

    Consider the cyclic quadrilateral below. Prove that D E B and D C B are supplementary .
    ::考虑下方的圆四边形。 证明 DEB 和 DCB 是补充的 。

    First note that  m ^ D E B + m ^ D C B = 360 because these two arcs make a full circle. 2 m D E B = m ^ D C B and  2 m D C B = m ^ D E B because the measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc . By substitution, 2 m D E B + 2 m D C B = 360 . Divide by 2 and you have m D E B + m D C B = 180 . Therefore,  D E B and  D C B are supplementary.
    ::第一个注意是 mDEB+mDCB=360,因为这两个弧是一个圆圈。 2mDEB=mDCB=mDCB和2mDCB=mDEB,因为一个刻入角的测量量是其截取弧的半分之一。2mDEB+2mDCB=360。除以2,你有 mDEB+mDCB=180。因此, DEB和DCB是补充的。


    Finding Contradictions 
    ::查找不一致之处

    Consider the quadrilateral below. Assume that B and F are supplementary, but note that point F does NOT lie on the circle. Find a contradiction. What does this prove?
    ::考虑下方的四边形。 假设B 和F 是补充的, 但请注意点F 不存在于圆圈上。 找出一个矛盾。 这证明什么 ?

    One method of proof is called a proof by contradiction . With a proof by contradiction you prove that something cannot not be true. Therefore, it must be true. Here, you are attempting to prove that it is impossible for a quadrilateral with opposite angles supplementary to not be cyclic. Therefore, such a quadrilateral must be cyclic.
    ::一种证明方法被称作矛盾的证明。如果用矛盾的证明来证明某事不可能是真实的。因此,它必须是真实的。在这里,你试图证明一个具有相反角度的四边形不可能是循环的。因此,这样的四边形必须是循环的。


    Finding a Point of Intersection 
    ::寻找交叉点

    Assume that B and F are supplementary, but note that point F does not lie on the circle. Find the point of intersection of  ¯ E F and the circle and call it point D . Form a segment by connecting point D with point C .
    ::假设 {B\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"B\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

    C D E is an exterior angle of F C D , so its measure is equal to the sum of the measures of the remote interior angles of the triangle . This means that m C D E = m F C D + m F . Quadrilateral  B C D E is cyclic, so  C D E and  B must be supplementary. This means that  C D E and  F must be congruent because they are both supplementary to the same angle. However, since C D E  and F  are not congruent (it is a contradiction), the assumption that B  and F are supplementary must be false.
    ::CDE 是 QFCD 的外部角度, 所以它的度量等于三角形的远程内角的度量总和 。 这意味着 mQCDE= mQFCD+mQQF. 四方 BDE 是循环的, 所以 QCDE 和 QB 必须是补充的 。 这意味着 QCDE 和 QF 必须是相近的, 因为它们都是对同一角度的补充 。 但是, QCDE 和 QF 不是相匹配的( 这是矛盾的), 认为 QB 和 QF 是补充的假设必须是虚假的 。

    Quadrilateral inscribed in a circle with angles labeled 100°, 90°, x°, and y°.

    Opposite angles are supplementary,
    ::对角是补充的,

    so ,   90 + x = 180 x = 180 90 x = 90 Similarly ,   100 + x = 180 x = 180 100 x = 80
    ::90x180x80x80 90x90Symilarly,100x180x180x180 180x80}100x180x80

    This means x = 90 and y = 80 .
    ::这意味着 x=90和y=80。

    Example 1
    ::例1

    One angle of a rhombus is 30 . Can this rhombus be inscribed in a circle?
    ::暴风雨的一个角度是 30 。 这个暴风雨可以被刻在圆形里吗 ?

    Opposite angles of a rhombus are congruent. If a rhombus has a  30 angle then it has one pair of opposite angles that are each  30 and one pair of opposite angles that are each 150 . Opposite angles are not supplementary so this rhombus cannot be inscribed in a circle.
    ::暴风车的对角是相似的。 如果暴风车有一个 30 angle, 那么它就有一对对对角, 每30 和一对对对角, 每150 。 对角不具有补充作用, 因此无法将暴风车刻入圆圈 。

    Example 2
    ::例2

    i) Find m ^ D E .
    :sad一) 寻找mDE。

    B C D is the inscribed angle of ^ D E B . This means that the measure of the arc is twice the measure of the angle. m D E B = 2 B C D = 2 87 = 174 . Since m ^ B E = 76 , m ^ D E = m ^ D E B m ^ B E = 174 76 = 98 .
    ::BCD 是 DEB 的刻度角。 这意味着弧的量度是角度的两倍。 mDEB= 2BCD= 287174。 自 mBE= 76, mDE= mDEB- mB= 1747698\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\DEDEDEBBB\ mBBBBBE= = 17476\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ 98\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ 。

    ii) Find m D E B .
    :sad二) 找到MDEB。

    B C D and D E B are opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral so they are supplementary. m D E B = 180 B C D = 180 87 = 93 .
    ::BCD和DEB是圆形四边形的对角。 mDEB=180BCD=1808793。
