The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the value of \( \cos A + \cos B + \cos C + \cos D \) in a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Cyclic Quadrilateral Properties**: In a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of the opposite angles is equal to \( 180^\circ \). Therefore, we have: \[ A + C = 180^\circ \quad \text{and} \quad B + D = 180^\circ \] 2. **Expressing Angles**: From the properties of cyclic quadrilaterals, we can express angles \( A \) and \( B \) in terms of angles \( C \) and \( D \): \[ A = 180^\circ - C \quad \text{and} \quad B = 180^\circ - D \] 3. **Substituting into the Cosine Sum**: Now, we substitute these expressions into the sum \( \cos A + \cos B + \cos C + \cos D \): \[ \cos A + \cos B + \cos C + \cos D = \cos(180^\circ - C) + \cos(180^\circ - D) + \cos C + \cos D \] 4. **Using the Cosine Identity**: We use the identity \( \cos(180^\circ - \theta) = -\cos \theta \): \[ \cos(180^\circ - C) = -\cos C \quad \text{and} \quad \cos(180^\circ - D) = -\cos D \] Thus, we can rewrite the expression: \[ = -\cos C - \cos D + \cos C + \cos D \] 5. **Simplifying the Expression**: Now, we simplify the expression: \[ -\cos C + \cos C - \cos D + \cos D = 0 \] 6. **Final Result**: Therefore, we conclude that: \[ \cos A + \cos B + \cos C + \cos D = 0 \] ### Final Answer: \[ \cos A + \cos B + \cos C + \cos D = 0 \]
