Let <math>ABCD</math> be a cyclic quadrilateral with <math>AB=7</math> and <math>CD=8</math>. Points <math>P</math> and <math>Q</math> are selected on line segment <math>AB</math> so that <math>AP=BQ=3</math>. Points <math>R</math> and <math>S</math> are selected on line segment <math>CD</math> so that <math>CR=DS=2</math>. Prove that <math>PQRS</math> is a quadrilateral.
 
 
 
== Solution 1 (One-liner) ==
 
<math>OP=OQ=\sqrt{R^2-3.5^2+0.5^2}=\sqrt{R^2-12}=\sqrt{R^2-4^2+2^2}=OR=OS</math>
