Explanation of Solution

Given:

A kite.

Proof:

  Geometry For Enjoyment And Challenge, Chapter 14, Problem 26RP

A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides equaltherefore, in triangle BCD and triangle BAD

   BA = BC (adjacent sides of a kite)AD = CD (adjacent sides of a kite )BD (common)

   BCD  BAD CDB =  ADBand  ABD = CBD

So,it can be concluded that BD is the angle bisector of angle B and Dto inscribe a circle within a kite

Now, draw the axis of symmetry which is BD in our case bisect one of the non-vertex angles (C or A ) and extend this line so that it meets line BD at any point say o'.

Now, drop a perpendicular from o' to any of the 4 sides of the kite at b' then taking o' as centre and o'b' as radius inscribe a circle within the kiteall kites are tangential quadrilaterals that is they are 4 sided figures into which a circle can be inscribed such that each side will touch the circle at any one point.
