it is easy to prove using th fact that tangents from the same point to the same circle are equal
ReplyDeleteAnonymous is right... by substitution we have a reflexive property so the theorem is true. Quite elementary
ReplyDeleteif the the point of contacts are joined and perimeter of this cyclic quad is given , can we find the perimeter of the circumscribed quad.?
ReplyDeleteThe converse is more difficult to prove.
ReplyDeleteThe converse may not necessary true.
DeleteCan anyone tell me the proof of the converse
DeleteProblem 816.
ReplyDeleteWhy 816 was published in 2009?
ReplyDeleteTo Jacob: It was published in 2009 as "Pitot Theorem" now is the problems collection as problem 816 for more solutions. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteIf AB ,BC,CD and DA intersects the tangent circle in K,L,M and N respectively, then AK=AN, BK=BL,CL=CM,DM=DN.But AB+CD=AK+KB+CM+DM=AN+(BL+CL)+DN=BC+AD.
