Brahmagupta theorem

In geometry, Brahmagupta's theorem states that if a cyclic quadrilateral is orthodiagonal (that is, has perpendicular diagonals), then the perpendicular to a side from the point of intersection of the diagonals always bisects the opposite side.

[2] More specifically, let A, B, C and D be four points on a circle such that the lines AC and BD are perpendicular.

We will prove that both AF and FD are in fact equal to FM.

Hence, AFM is an isosceles triangle, and thus the sides AF and FM are equal.

The proof that FD = FM goes similarly: the angles FDM, BCM, BME and DMF are all equal, so DFM is an isosceles triangle, so FD = FM.
