How to Prove Ptolemy's Theorem for Cyclic Quadrilaterals
Ptolemy's Theorem relates the diagonals of a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle to its side lengths. We give a proof of this theorem together with an application to a classical geometry theorem.

Adding the point K on AC is such an interesting step! I hope I can learn how to do geometric proofs like these at some point!

It's an interesting creative step. Maybe too magical!
I always love those "magic line" proofs :) -- They really embody the creativity and ingenuity in proof geometry (which is often seen as the boring, rigorous way to do things) that is often missed by those that don't study it as deeply (that can be said for almost all subjects, too). Thank you for this pretty cool proof. There are certainly more beautiful proofs, like the inversion one, but I still really like the approach you took. You seem more into mathematics than a lot of other people I've seen with similar channels... It doesn't feel like you're parroting a website and dryly restating the proof, but actually sharing your love of math with the audience.

Thanks Myrus! I really do love the stuff and wish I could share so much more
Excellent explanation Omar!
thanks very much!! I was really struggling with the proof I have in my book, yours is much easier to absorb.
Thank you for this. I was searching for proof of Ptolemy's theorem.

Definitely!
there is also slightly extended version of it- namely we have inequality AD*BC+AB*DC>= AC*BD with equality iff quadrilateral is cyclic.
Loved it! This channel is a gem. Here from blackpenredpen's video :D

you should do more things like this. I am personally a great fan of planimetry, but sometimes feel a bit too lazy to read the proofs myself.

How can I prove using Complex numbers?
Can you olympiad techniques for euclidean geometry like inversion and barycentric coordinates?

Hi Drag. I typically focus on undergrad math material but I have some interesting techniques that apply to geometry coming quite soon that are quite surprising! Did you think about this from the inversion proof of Ptolemy?
Nice explanation

This proof looks like magic. Really. Inversion looks much more intuitive.

Truth. Inversion takes a lot of set up. There is a nice numberphile about it actually

@@ProfOmarMath Yeah. I have a small request. Can you make a video on what's the idea of Circular Inversion, because that definition looks rather strange on first look but solves circle related problems in a jiffy.
Sir how did you get the idea to construct the angle bisector? Or you knew it beforehand?
