Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Let ABCD (HOPE) be the quadrilateral circumScribing the circle with center O. The quadrilateral touches the circle at point P, Q, R, & S.
TO PROVE : AB+CD=AD+BC
PROOF:
From theorem 10.2 ; lengths of tangents drawn from external Point are equal.
Hence,
AP=AS............... (1)
BP=BQ..................(2)
CR=CQ...............(3)
DR=DS..............(4)
adding (1)+(2)+(3)+(4)
AP+NP+CR+DR=AS+BQ+CQ+DS
(AP+BP) +(CR+DR) =(AS+DS) +(BQ+CQ)
AB +CD=AD+BC
HENCE PROVED.
