If diagonals of a cyclic quadrilateral are diameters of the circle through the vertices of the quadrilateral, prove that it is a rectangle.
Let ABCD be a cyclic quadrilateral having diagonals BD and AC, intersecting each other at point O
∠BAD = ∠BOD
=
= 90o
∠BCD + ∠BAD = 180° (Cyclic quadrilateral)
Consider BD as a chord
∠BCD = 180° − 90° = 90°
∠ADC = ∠AOC
= * 180o
= 90o
∠ADC + ∠ABC = 180° (Cyclic quadrilateral)
90° + ∠ABC = 180°
∠ABC = 90o
Each interior angle of a cyclic quadrilateral is of 90°. Hence, it is a rectangle
