Prove that a cyclic parallelogram is a rectangle.
To do:
We have to prove that a cyclic parallelogram is a rectangle.
Solution:
Let $ABCD$ be a parallelogram such that its diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ are the diameters of the circle through the vertices $A, B, C$ and $D$.
We know that the angle in a semi-circle is a right angle.
Therefore,
$\angle ADC = 90^o$ and $\angle ABC = 90^o$
$\angle BCD = 90^o$ and $\angle BAD = 90^o$
We know that a parallelogram with one right angle is a rectangle.
Therefore, $ABCD$ is a rectangle.
Hence proved.
