Solution

Given: ABCD

AD and BC are tangent.

Since ABCD

BAC=ACD=x

ABD=BDC=y

APB=DPC=z

In ABP

ABP+BPA+PAB=180

x+y+z=180

According to alternate segment theorem, angle between a tangent and a chord through the point of contact is equal to the angle in the alternate segment.

Since AD and BC are tangents

ADP=PCD=y

BCP=PDC=x

DPC is an external angle to PBC

DPC=PBC+BCP

PBC=DPCBCP=zx

ABC+ADC=(ABP+PBC)+(ADB+BDC)

=x+(zx)+x+y=x+y+z

WKT

x+y+z=180

ABC+ADC=180

Opposite angles are supplementary.

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.
