Mathematics Question on Circles

If a hexagon ABCDEF circumscribes a circle, prove that AB + CD + EF = BC + DE + FA.

Answer

By the property of a circumscribed circle, the tangents drawn from an external point are equal. Thus:
AB+BC+CD+DE+EF+FA=2×Perimeter of Hexagon.AB + BC + CD + DE + EF + FA = 2 \times \text {Perimeter of Hexagon.}
Rearranging:
AB+CD+EF=BC+DE+FA.AB + CD + EF = BC + DE + FA.
Correct Answer: Proved
