• Line KM forms an axis
of symmetry.
• Symmetry is a reason
• Length QN = Length
QK.
• Isosceles triangle
• Angle NQM = 120°.
• Angle NMQ = 30°.
Read the detail
• To prove KLMN is
cyclic, you must prove
that the opposite angles
sum to 180 degrees.

•
The logo is
based on two
regular
pentagons and a
regular hexagon.
•
AB and AC are
straight lines.
Interior angles in a hexagon
• Interior ’s sum to
• (6-2) x 180 = 720
• Exterior angles in
regular figures are
• 360/no. of sides.
• Interior angle is 180 minus
the ext. 
Interior angles in a hexagon
ADG = HFA = 360/5= 72
• (ext.  regular pentagon)
DGE=EHF = 132

Interior angles in a hexagon
Therefore DAF = 72
(Sum interior angles of a
hexagon = 720)

Read the information and
absorb what this means
• The lines DE and FG
are parallel.
• Coint ’s sum to 180
• AC bisects the angle
DAB.
• DAC=CAB
• BC bisects the angle
FBA.
• CBF=CBA
Let DAC= x and CFB= y
• DAB = 2x
• (DAC=CAB)
• FBA= 2y
• (FBC=CBA)
• 2x + 2y = 180
• (coint ’s // lines)
• X + y = 90
• I.e. CAB + CBA = 90
Let DAC= x and CFB= y
CAB + CBA = 90
• Therefore ACB = 90
• (sum ∆)
• Therefore AB is the
diameter
• ( in a semi-circle)
