    EA²+EC² = AC² = 4R²
    EB²+ED² = BD² = 4R²

    EA²+EB²+EC²+ED² = 8R²

    By the symmetry of the figure, B, O & D are collinear making BD & AC diameters of the circumcircle each = 2R. And EB²+ED²=BD²=4R². Likewise, EA²+EC²=4R². Hence the result.

    the solution is obtained by applying the Pythagorean theorem to the diagonals AC and BD
    AExAE + ECxEC = ACxAC = 4 (rxr)
    BExBE + EDxED = BDxBD = 4 (rxr) then
    AExAE +ECxEC + BExBE +EDxED = 8 (rxr)

    EA^2+ EC^2 =AC^2=4R^2;EB^2+ ED^2 =BD^2=4R^2=>EA^2+ EC^2+EB^2+ ED^2=2.4R^2=8R^2

    we have two times the application of the Pythagorean theorem applied to the two diagonals of the rectangle Square and add them give exactly 8 (rxr)

    The result follows easily from applying Pythagoras to right Tr.s AEC and BED
