Prove that a cyclic parallelogram is a rectangle.



Answer -

Let ABCD bea cyclic parallelogram.

∠A + ∠C = 180° (Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral) … (1)

We know that opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.

∴ ∠A = ∠C and ∠B = ∠D

From equation (1),

∠A + ∠C = 180°

⇒ ∠A + ∠A = 180°

⇒ 2 ∠A = 180°

⇒ ∠A = 90°

Parallelogram ABCD has one of its interior angles as90°. Therefore, it is a rectangle.
