Let ABCD be a parallelogram which circumscribes the circle.
AP = AS ...(1)
BP = BQ ...(2)
CR = CQ ...(3)
DR = DS ...(4)
For (1) (2) (3) (4) [Since tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal in length]
Consider, (AP + BP) + (CR + DR) = (AS + DS) + (BQ + CQ)
AB + CD = AD + BC
But AB = CD and BC = AD [Since opposite sides of parallelogram ABCD]
AB + CD = AD + BC
Hence 2AB = 2BC
Therefore, AB = BC
Similarly, we get AB = DA and DA = CD
Thus ABCD is a rhombus.
:) Hope this Helps!!!
