To prove that \( \tan^2 \frac{A}{2} = \frac{bc}{ad} \) for a convex quadrilateral \( ABCD \) with sides \( AB = a \), \( BC = b \), \( CD = c \), and \( DA = d \), and given that a circle can be inscribed and circumscribed about it, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Use the properties of the quadrilateral Since the quadrilateral \( ABCD \) can have both an inscribed circle and a circumscribed circle, we can use the following properties: 1. For an inscribed circle: \( a + c = b + d \) (the sum of opposite sides is equal). 2. For a circumscribed circle: \( A + C = 180^\circ \) (the sum of opposite angles is \( 180^\circ \)). ### Step 2: Express \( \cos A \) using the Law of Cosines ...
