Given : In Δ ABC , P,Q ,R are the mid point of the sides BC , CA and AB respectively. Also AS⊥ BC.
To prove : PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Construction : Join SR , RQ, QP
Proof : In right angled Δ ASP , R is the mid point of AB
RB = RD
∠2= ∠1 ....(1)
Since , R and Q are the mid point of ABand AC , then
RQ ║ BC
RQ ║BP
Since OP ║RB , then quadrilatera BPQR is a parallelogram
∠1 = ∠3 ....(2)
∠2 = ∠3
∠2 + ∠4 = 180° ( linear pair )
∠3 + ∠4 = 180 ° ( ∵ ∠2 = ∠3 )
Hence , quadrilateral PQRS is cyclic quadrilateral
