A Visual Proof of Ptolemy's Theorem
A Visual Proof of Ptolemy's Theorem
A significant result in classical geometry is Ptolemy's theorem: in a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of the products of the two pairs of opposite sides is equal to the product of the diagonals. This Demonstration presents a visual proof of the theorem, based on [1].
