Question
An exterior angle of a cyclic quadrilateral is congruent to the angle opposite to its adjacent interior angle, to prove the theorem complete the activity.

Given: ABCD is cyclic,
`square` is the exterior angle of ABCD
To prove: ∠DCE ≅ ∠BAD
Proof: `square` + ∠BCD = `square` ...[Angles in linear pair] (i)
ABCD is a cyclic.
`square` + ∠BAD = `square` ...[Theorem of cyclic quadrilateral] (ii)
By (i) and (ii)
∠DCE + ∠BCD = `square` + ∠BAD
∠DCE ≅ ∠BAD

Solution
Proof:
Given: ABCD is cyclic,
\[\boxed{\text{∠DCE}}\] is the exterior angle of ABCD
To prove: ∠DCE ≅ ∠BAD
Proof: \[\boxed{\text{∠DCE}}\] + ∠BCD = \[\boxed{180°}\] ...[Angles in linear pair] (i)
ABCD is a cyclic.
\[\boxed{\text{∠BCD}}\] + ∠BAD = \[\boxed{180°}\] ...[Theorem of cyclic quadrilateral] (II)
By (i) and (ii)
∠DCE + ∠BCD = \[\boxed{\text{∠BCD}}\] + ∠BAD
∠DCE ≅ ∠BAD
