Solution
To prove: Perpendicular bisector of side AB, BC, CD and DA are concurrent i.e, passes through the same point.
Proof:
We know that the perpendicular bisector of every chord of a circle always passes through the centre.
Therefore, Perpendicular bisectors of chord AB, BC, CD and DA pass through the centre which means they all passes through the same point.
Hence, the perpendicular bisector of AB, BC, CD and DA are concurrent.
