The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the median of the angles \( \angle DAB, \angle ABC, \angle BCD \) given that they are in an arithmetic progression (AP). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Angles in AP**: Since \( \angle DAB, \angle ABC, \angle BCD \) are in AP, we can express them as: - Let \( \angle DAB = \theta - \alpha \) - Let \( \angle ABC = \theta \) - Let \( \angle BCD = \theta + \alpha \) 2. **Finding the Median**: The median of three numbers in AP is simply the middle term, which is \( \angle ABC \). Thus, the median is: \[ \text{Median} = \theta \] 3. **Using the Property of Cyclic Quadrilaterals**: Since point \( E \) is equidistant from all vertices \( A, B, C, D \), quadrilateral \( ABCD \) is cyclic. For a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of opposite angles is \( 180^\circ \) or \( \pi \) radians. 4. **Finding \( \angle ADC \)**: The sum of angles in quadrilateral \( ABCD \) is \( 360^\circ \) or \( 2\pi \) radians. Therefore: \[ \angle DAB + \angle ABC + \angle BCD + \angle ADC = 2\pi \] Substituting the values: \[ (\theta - \alpha) + \theta + (\theta + \alpha) + \angle ADC = 2\pi \] Simplifying this gives: \[ 3\theta + \angle ADC = 2\pi \] Thus, \[ \angle ADC = 2\pi - 3\theta \] 5. **Using the Property of Cyclic Quadrilaterals Again**: For cyclic quadrilaterals, we have: \[ \angle ADC + \angle ABC = \pi \] Substituting \( \angle ADC \): \[ (2\pi - 3\theta) + \theta = \pi \] Simplifying this gives: \[ 2\pi - 2\theta = \pi \] Rearranging gives: \[ 2\theta = \pi \implies \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} \] 6. **Conclusion**: The median of the angles \( \angle DAB, \angle ABC, \angle BCD \) is: \[ \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} \] ### Final Answer: The median of the set \( (\angle DAB, \angle ABC, \angle BCD) \) is \( \frac{\pi}{2} \).
