Activity Overview
This activity uses Cabri™ Jr. to discover that opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary
Before the Activity
1. Draw a circle in the center of the screen. Label the center O.
Use the point tool to make four points on the circle.
Use the Quadrilateral Tool to construct a quadrilateral. Label the vertices A, B, C and D as in Figure 1.
2. Use the Measure Tool to measure the interior
angles BAD and BCD. Label the measurements using the Alpha-numeric Tool. See Figure 2.
3. Use the Calculate Tool to find the sum of the two angles.
