To prove that opposite sides of a quadrilateral circumscribing a circle subtend supplementary angles at the center of the circle, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Setup Let \(ABCD\) be a quadrilateral that circumscribes a circle with center \(O\). The sides \(AB\), \(BC\), \(CD\), and \(DA\) are tangent to the circle at points \(P\), \(Q\), \(R\), and \(S\) respectively. ### Step 2: Draw Radii and Tangents Draw the radii from the center \(O\) to the points of tangency: - \(OP\) is perpendicular to \(AB\) ...
