Given: A cyclic quadrilateral ABCD in which AP, BP, CR and DR are the bisectors of ∠A,∠B,∠C and ∠D respectively, forming a quadrilateral PQRS.
To prove: PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral
Proof:
In ΔPAB,
∠APB+∠PAB+∠PBA=180∘ [Angle sum property]
∠APB+12∠A+12∠B=180∘....(i)
∠PAB=12∠A and ∠PBA=12∠B
[1 Mark]
In ΔRCD,
∠CRD+∠RCD+∠RDC=180∘ [Angle sum property]
∠CRD+12∠C+12∠D=180∘....(ii)
∠RCD=12∠D and ∠RDC=12∠D
[1 Mark]
∠APB+∠CRD+12(∠A+∠B+∠C+∠D)=360∘ Adding (i) and (ii)
[1 Mark]
∠APB+∠CRD+12×360∘=360∘
∠APB+∠CRD=180∘
Sum of a pair of opposite angles of quadrilateral PQRS is 180∘
PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral

Hence proved.
