Given ABCD is a parallelogram in which all the sides touch a given circle
To prove:- ABCD is a rhombus
Proof:-
{tex}\because{/tex} ABCD is a parallelogram
{tex}\therefore{/tex} AB = DC and AD = BC
Again AP, AQ are tangents to the circle from the point A
{tex}\therefore{/tex} AP = AQ
Similarly,  BR = BQ
CR = CS
DP = DS
{tex}\therefore{/tex}(AP + DP) + (BR + CR) = AQ + DS + BQ + CS = (AQ + BQ) + (CS + DS)
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} AD + BC = AB + DC
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} BC + BC = AB + AB [{tex}\because{/tex} AB = DC, AD = BC]
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 2BC = 2AB
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} BC = AB
Hence, parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus
