Given:
ABCD is a parallelogram.
To prove:
ABCD is a rhombus.
Proof:
We know that,
tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal in length.
AP=AS. ---(i)
BP=BQ. ---- (ii)
CR=CQ. ---- (iii)
DR=DS. -----(iv)
Adding (I) (II) (III) and (IV)
AP+BP+CR+DR=AS+DS+BQ+CQ
AB+CD=AD+BC
Since,ABCD is a parallelogram
Ab=CD and BC=AD ---- (v)
So
AB+AB=AD+AD
2AB=2AD
AB=AD. -----(vi)
From (v) and (vi) we get
AB=CD=BC=AD
So, ABCD is a rhombus

Answer:
A circle with centre O
A parallelogram ABCD is touching the circle at points P,Q,R and S
To prove: ABCD is a rhombus
Proof:
A rhombus is a parallelogram with all sides equal,So,we have to prove all sides equal
In parallelogram ABCD,
AB=CD and AD = BC
Hence,
AP = AS
BP = BQ
CR = CQ
DR = DS
Addying 2 + 3 + 4 + 5
AP + BP + CR + DR= AS + BQ + CQ + DS
( AP + BP ) + ( CR + DR ) = (AS + DS) +( BQ + CQ )
AB + CD = AD + BC
AB + AB = AD + AD
2AB = 2AD
AB = AD
So AB = AD
and AB = CD and AD = BC
So, ABCD is a parallelogram with all sides equal
ABCD is a Rhombus
Hence Proved
