Given - c(o,r)
To Prove - AB + CD = AD + BC
Proof - Let AB touches the circle at P. BC touches the circle at Q. DC touches the circle at R. AD touches the circle at S.
THEN
PB=QB ( Length of the the tangents drawn from the external point are always equal )
QC =RC "
AP=AS "
DS=DP "
NOW, AB + CD
= AP + PB+DR+RC
= AS+QB+DS+CQ
= AS+DS+QB+CQ
= AD+BC
HENCE PROVED
