"Circumscribed quadrilateral"

A quadrilateral ABCD is circumscribed about a circle and P,Q,R,S are the points of tangency of sides AB,BC,CD,DA respectively.Let a=AB, b=BC, c=CD, d=AD and p=QS, q=PR. Show that ac/(p^2)=bd/(q^2) |

I do not understand where your problem is. >A quadrilateral ABCD is circumscribed about a circle and >P,Q,R,S are the points of tangency of sides AB,BC,CD,DA >respectively.Let a=AB, b=BC, c=CD, d=AD and p=QS, q=PR. Show >that ac/(p^2)=bd/(q^2) If you make a simple drawing, you can be sure that: { a=c=p } and that { b=d=q }. Therefore, it is true for any number a*a/a^2 = 1 . Using this, you can be sure that each side of the equasion is equal to 1. And, of course, we all know that 1=1. |
