Given: ABCD is a quadrilateral circumscribing a circle whose centre is O.
To prove:
Construction: Join OP, OQ, OR and OS.

Proof: Since tangents from an external point to a circle are equal.
∴ AP = AS,
BP = BQ ........ (i)
CQ = CR
DR = DS
In △OBP and △OBQ,
OP = OQ [Radii of the same circle]
OB = OB [Common]
BP = BQ [From eq. (i)]
∴ △OPB ≅ △OBQ [By SSS congruence criterion]
∴ ∠1 = ∠2 [By C.P.C.T.]
Similarly, ∠3 = ∠4, ∠5 = ∠6, ∠7 = ∠8
Since, the sum of all the angles round a point is equal to 360o.
∴ ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠4+ ∠5 + ∠6 + ∠7 + ∠8 = 360o
⇒ ∠1 + ∠1 + ∠4 + ∠4+ ∠5 + ∠5 + ∠8 + ∠8 = 360o
⇒ 2 (∠1 + ∠4 + ∠5 + ∠8) = 360o
⇒ ∠1 + ∠4 + ∠5 + ∠8 = 180o
⇒ (∠1 + ∠5) + (∠4 + ∠8) = 180o
⇒ ∠AOB + ∠COD = 180o
Similarly we can prove that
∠BOC + ∠AOD = 180o
