Let ABCD be a parallelogram inscribed in a circle. Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary, while opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal. Therefore, each angle is 90°. Hence, ABCD is a rectangle.

  1. Let ABCD be a parallelogram inscribed in a circle. Since it is cyclic, its opposite angles are supplementary.

    Also, opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.

    Therefore,

    ∠A + ∠C = 180°
    and ∠A = ∠C.

    Thus, 2∠A = 180°, so ∠A = 90°. Similarly, all four angles are 90°.

    Hence, the parallelogram is a rectangle. Therefore, a rectangle is the only parallelogram that can be inscribed in a circle.
