Quadrilateral CDEF is inscribed in circle A. Which statements complete the proof to show that ∠CFE and ∠CDE are supplementary? (1 point)

Quadrilateral CDEF is inscribed in circle A.

Quadrilateral CDEF is inscribed in circle A, so m arc CDE+ m arc CFE= 360°. ∠CFE and ∠CDE are _________________, which means that their measures are one half the measure of their intercepted arcs. So, m arc CDE= 2 ⋅ m∠CFE and arc CFE= 2 ⋅ m∠CDE. Using the _________________, 2 ⋅ m∠CFE + 2 ⋅ m∠CDE = 360°. Using the division property of equality, divide both sides of the equation by 2, resulting in m∠CFE + m∠CDE = 180°. Therefore, ∠CFE and ∠CDE are supplementary.

The correct statements that complete the proof are:

**inscribed angles; addition property of equality**

So, the completed proof would read:

Quadrilateral CDEF is inscribed in circle A.

Quadrilateral CDEF is inscribed in circle A, so m arc CDE + m arc CFE = 360°. ∠CFE and ∠CDE are **inscribed angles**, which means that their measures are one half the measure of their intercepted arcs. So, m arc CDE = 2 ⋅ m∠CFE and m arc CFE = 2 ⋅ m∠CDE. Using the **addition property of equality**, 2 ⋅ m∠CFE + 2 ⋅ m∠CDE = 360°. Using the division property of equality, divide both sides of the equation by 2, resulting in m∠CFE + m∠CDE = 180°. Therefore, ∠CFE and ∠CDE are supplementary.
