If the two sides of a pair of opposite sides of a cyclic quadrilateral are equal, prove that its diagonals are equal.
Given that,
ABCD is cyclic quadrilateral in which AB = DC
To prove: AC = BD
Proof: In and
,
AB = DC (Given)
∠BAP = ∠CDP (Angles in the same segment)
∠PBA = ∠PCD (Angles in the same segment)
Then,
(i) (By c.p.c.t)
(ii) (By c.p.c.t)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
PA + PC = PD + PB
AC = BD
