Problem Statement

If in ABC\bigtriangleup ABC, ADAD is the altitude and AEAE is the diameter of the circumcircle through AA, then prove that ABAC=ADAEAB\cdot AC = AD \cdot AE. Use this result to show that if ABCDABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral then show that AC(ABBC+CDDA)=BD(DAAB+BCCD)AC \cdot (AB \cdot BC + CD \cdot DA) = BD\cdot (DA\cdot AB + BC \cdot CD).
