If `veca,vecb,vecc and vecd` are the position vectors of the vertices of a cycle quadrilateral ABCD, prove that `(|vecaxxvecb+vecb xxvecd+vecd xxveca|)/((vecb-veca).(vecd-veca))+(|vecbxxvecc+veccxxvecd+vecd xx vecb|)/((vecb-vecc).(vecd-vecc))`=0

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`(|vecaxxvecb+vecb xxvecd+vecd xxveca|)/((vecb-veca).(vecd-veca))=(|(veca-vecd)xx(vecb-veca)|)/((vecb-veca).(vecd-veca))`
`= (|veca-vecd||vecb-veca|sinA)/(|vecb-veca||vecd-veca|cosA)`
`tanA`
`Also (|vecbxxvecc+veccxxvecd+vecd xxvecb|)/((vecb-vecc).(vecd-vecc))=(|(vecb-vecc)xx(vecc-vecd)|)/((vecb-veca).(vecd-vecc))`
`=(|vecb-vecc||vecc-vecd|sinC)/(|vecb-vecc|.|vecd-vecc|cosA)`
`tan C`
As it is a cycle quadrilateral, we have
`A = 180^(@)-C`
`tan A=tan(180^(@)-C)`
`tan A + tan C =0`
`(|vecaxx vecb+vecbxxvecd+vecd xxveca|)/((vecb-veca).(vecd-veca))+(|vecbxxvecc+veccxxvecd+vecd xxvecb|)/((vecb-vecc).(vecd-vecc))`
