Solution :
Given :
- ABCD is rectangle circumscribed in a circle.
To prove :
- ABCD is square
Proof :
We know that tangents from an external point are equal,
=> AP = AS........(1)
=> BP = BQ........(2)
=> CR = CQ........(3)
=> DR = DS.........(4)
Adding (1), (2), (3) and (4)
=> AP + BP + CR + DR = AS + BQ + CQ + DS
=> AB + DC = AD + BC
Also, AB = CD and AD = BC as ABCD is a rectangle.
=> AB + AB = AD + AD
=> 2AB = 2AD
=> AB = AD
•°• ABCD is a square with all equal sides.
Hence proved!
