To prove that a parallelogram circumscribing a circle is a rhombus, we will follow a step-by-step approach. ### Step 1: Define the Parallelogram Let \(ABCD\) be a parallelogram that circumscribes a circle. The points where the circle touches the sides of the parallelogram are denoted as \(P, Q, R, S\) on sides \(AB, BC, CD, DA\) respectively. ### Step 2: Use the Tangent Properties According to the properties of tangents from an external point to a circle, the lengths of the tangents drawn from a point outside the circle to the points of tangency are equal. Therefore, we have: - \(AP = AS\) ...
