Question 20 A quadrilateral MNOP is inscribed in a circle. If MN is a diameter, what can you say about ∠MOP and ∠MNP? Explain your reasoning. Let’s draw the figure Considering arc MP We know that Angles in the same segment are equal Here, both ∠ MNP & ∠ MOP are in same segment Therefore, ∠ MNP = ∠ MOP Note: Giving MN as diameter was a trick for you to apply the “Angle in a semicircle is 90° theorem”. Always think from first principles
