Solution
If ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which AB and CD when produced meet in E such that EA = ED, then we have to prove the following, AD || BC
It is given that EA = ED, so
Since, ABCD is cyclic quadrilateral
`x + angleABC = 180 ⇒ angleDAB = 180 - x`
And ; ` x + angleBCD = 180 ⇒ angle BCD = 180- x `
Now,
`angle DAB + angle ABC = x + 180 - x = 180`
Therefore, the adjacent angles `angleDAB ` and `angleABC` are supplementary
Hence, AD || BC
