Join AC and BD.

In the figure (i) given below, ABDC is a cyclic quadrilateral. If AB = CD, prove that AD = BC. Circles, ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 10.

In △ABD and △CBD,

AB = CD (Given)

BD = BD (Common side)

∠BAD = ∠BCD (∵ angles in same segment are equal.)

∴ △ABD ≅ △CBD. (By SSA axiom of congruency.)

∴ BC = AD (As corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.)

Hence, proved that BC = AD.
