Next we know that BD and AD are tangent of ∘ C. Let's recall that a tangent line is perpendicular to a radius of the circle. Therefore, we can again use the set square to draw lines that are perpendicular to CA and CB.
The point of intersection of the dashed lines will be point D.
As we can see in this quadrilateral, opposite angles are congruent so this quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Additionally, all angles in this parallelogram are right, so ABCD is a rectangle. Next we know that AC=CB, as these segments are radii of ∘ C.
By the External Tangent Congruence Theorem we know that AD and BD are congruent. However, since in a rectangle opposite sides are congruent, this indicates that AD≅ BD≅ CB≅ AC.
Finally, as all sides in a rectangle CADB are congruent, this quadrilateral is a square.
