Question 14 Show that rectangle is the only parallelogram that can be inscribed in a circle. Given: Let ABCD be a cyclic parallelogram To prove: ABCD is a rectangle Proof: A rectangle is a parallelogram with one angle 90° So, we have to prove one angle 90° We know that Opposite angles of parallelogram are equal Therefore, ∠A = ∠C Now, In cyclic parallelogram ABCD Sum of opposite angles is 180° So, we can write ∠A + ∠C = 180° Putting ∠A = ∠C from (1) ∠A + ∠A = 180° 2∠A = 180° ∠A = (180°)/2 ∠ A = 90° Thus, ABCD is a parallelogram with one angle 90° ∴ ABCD is a rectangle Hence proved
