Prove that opposite sides of quadrilateral circumscribing a circle subtend supplementary angles at the centre of the circle

Given: ABCD is a quadrilateral circumscribing a circle whose centre is O.
To prove:

  1. AOB + COD = 180o
  2. BOC + AOD = 180o

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
