To prove that the diagonals of a cyclic quadrilateral are equal when a pair of opposite sides are equal, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Given Information**: Let the cyclic quadrilateral be \( ABCD \) where \( AD = BC \). 2. **Understanding Arcs**: Since \( ABCD \) is a cyclic quadrilateral, the opposite angles subtend arcs on the circle. Given that \( AD = BC \), we can infer that the arcs subtended by these sides are equal. Therefore, we have: \[ ...
