INSCRIBED

QUADRILATERA
L THEOREM
 OBJECTIVE

 Apply the theorems related to inscribed

angles and inscribed quadrilaterals in finding
the measure of the unknown angles or arcs.
 What is a
quadrilateral?

How do you know if

angles are
supplementary?
INSCRIBED QUADRILATERAL THEOREM

Opposite angles of an
inscribed quadrilateral
are supplementary.

C
If □ABCD is an inscribed
quadrilateral, then:
•∠A and ∠C are
supplementary ∠s, and
A •∠B and ∠D are
D
supplementary ∠s.
