Brahmagupta's Theorem


BrahmaguptasTheorem

In a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD having perpendicular diagonals AC_|_BD, the perpendiculars to the sides through point T of intersection of the diagonals (the anticenter) always bisects the opposite side (so M_(AB), M_(BC), M_(CD), and M_(DA) are the midpoints of the corresponding sides of the quadrilateral).
