Question
Trapezium ABCD is such that AB is parallel to CD. Is this trapezium an isosceles trapezium?
Statement (I): ∠B and ∠D are supplementary
Statement (II): The quadrilateral is inscribed inside a circle
- If the question can be answered with statement I alone but not statement II alone, or can be answered with statement II alone but not statement I alone
- If the question cannot be answered with statement I alone or with statement II alone, but can be answered if both statements are used together
- If the question can be answered with either statement alone
- If the question cannot be answered with the information provided
Explanatory Answer
Statement (I): ∠B and ∠D are supplementary.
SUFFICIENT. If two base angles are equal, then the trapezium has to be isosceles.
Statement (II): The quadrilateral is inscribed inside a circle.
SUFFICIENT. All trapeziums inscribed in circles have to be isosceles. (Think about the proof for this)
