 AB is a diameter of the circle with centre O, two tangents PQ and RS drawn at points A and B respectively.

Radius will be perpendicular to these tangents.

Thus, OA ⊥ RS and OB ⊥ PQ

∠OAR = ∠OAS = ∠OBP = ∠OBQ = 90º

Therefore,

∠OAR = ∠OBQ (Alternate interior angles)

∠OAS = ∠OBP (Alternate interior angles)

Since alternate interior angles are equal, lines PQ and RS will be parallel.

No, in general. But if the trapezium is equilateral or isosceles, then it can only have two equal diagonals
