Hello!!
Question:
Prove that if two opposite sides of a cyclic quadrilateral are equal then the other two sides are parallel.
Solution:-
We have to prove that if two opposite sides of a cyclic quadrilateral are equal then the other two sides are parallel.
Let PQRS be a cyclic quadrilateral with PS=QR, as shown in the figure.[See Attachment]
Construction: Extend PQ to U and draw RU⊥PQ. Draw PT⊥SR
In △PST and △RQU,
∠PST=∠RQU (exterior angle property of a cyclic quadrilateral).
PS=QR (given).
∠PTS=∠RUQ (by construction).
⇒△PST≅△RQU (AAS test).
⇒PT=RU (c.s.c.t.).
⇒PQ∥SR.
Therefore, if two opposite sides of a cyclic quadrilateral are equal then the other two sides are parallel.
