Prove that triangle BAG is congruent to triangle CFG. Give a reason for each statement you make.
It won't just hand you the answer — it asks where you're stuck.How the checker works
Worked solution
6((i))((a))
1. Find $\angle BCF$ using the cyclic quadrilateral $ABCF$.
Since lie on the same circle, opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.
2. Find $\angle ACF$ by subtracting the given angle $\angle ACB$.
At , is made up of and .
Given ,
3. Find $\angle FCD$ using cyclic quadrilateral $CDEF$, then obtain $\angle ACD$.
Since lie on the same circle, opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.
Therefore,
6((i))((b))
1. Find \(\angle CAD\) using \(BC \parallel AD\).
Since and is a transversal,
(alternate angles).
2. Use the angle sum of triangle \(ACD\) to find \(\angle CDA\).
From part (i)(a),
In ,
6((ii))
1. Show that one pair of corresponding angles is equal.
Since are collinear and are collinear,
and
In circle , angles in the same segment subtended by chord are equal, so
Hence,
2. Show that a second pair of corresponding angles is equal.
Since are collinear and are collinear,
and
In circle , angles in the same segment subtended by chord are equal, so
Hence,
3. Show that the corresponding included side is equal and conclude congruence.
From part (i)(b), . Since are collinear,
Also given,
Thus
In circle , equal angles subtend equal chords, so
Therefore, with
we have
