  • Question
  • In a quadrilateral ABCD, ?B = 90° and AD 2 = AB 2 + BC 2 + CD 2, then ?ACD is equal to:


  • Options
  • A. 90°
  • B. 60°
  • C. 30°
  • D. 20°

  • Correct Answer
  • 90° 

    Explanation

    In a quadrilateral ABCD,
    Given :- ?B = 90°
    AB2 + BC2 + CD2 = AC2 + CD2 = AD2 { ? In triangle ABC , AB2 + BC2 = AC2 }
    So, in triangle ACD, angle opposite to AD = 90° ( by Converse of Pythagoras theorem)
    ? ?ACD = 90°
