Prove that the parallelogram circumscribing a circle is a rhombus.
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- A parallelogram ABCD circumscribing a circle.
To Prove:
- ABCD is a rhombus?
Solution: See the figure above , we have
- AB = DC {Opposite sires of ||gm}
- AD = BC {Opposite sires of ||gm}
As we know that length of two tangents drawn from a external points to a circle are equal to each other.
Let's see the tangents form each point
- AP = AS {from point A}.....i
- BP = BQ {from B}.....ii
- CR = CQ {from C}.....iii
- DR = DS {from D}.....iv
Now,
➯ AP + BP + CR + DR = BQ + CQ + AS + DS
➯ AB + CD = BC + AD
➯ 2AB = 2AD (opposite sides are equal)
➯ AB = AD
∴ABCD is a ||gm with adjacent sides AB = AD. Hence, is a rhombus.
Answer:
✡ Given :- ABCD be a parallelogram circumscribing a circle with center O.
✡ To Prove:- ABCD is a rhombus.
We know that the tangents draw to a circle from am exterior point are equal in length.
Therefore, AP = AS, BP = BQ, CR = CQ and DR = DS
Adding the above equation,
AP + BP + CR + DR = AS + BQ + CQ + DS
(AP + BP) + (CR + DR) = (AS + DS) + (BQ + CQ)
AB + CD = AD + BC
2AB = 2BC
(Since, ABCD is a parallelogram so
AB = DC and AD = BC)
➡ AB = BC
Therefore, AB = BC = DC = AD
Hence, ABCD is a rhombus.
