Problem

Let be a cyclic quadrilateral whose opposite sides are not parallel, the intersection of and , and the intersection of and . Let the angle bisector of intersect , at , respectively and let the angle bisector of intersect , at , respectively. Prove that is a parallelogram.
Solution
Since is cyclic, and . Therefore, Let be this ratio. Therefore, by the angle bisector theorem, and Hence, and . Therefore, and . Hence, is a parallelogram.
