SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on proving that points A, E, D, and T form a cyclic quadrilateral within circle ABCD. The key angles involved are x = ∠TAD = ∠TDA = ∠ACD = ∠TEA, leading to the conclusion that ∠ATD = 180 - 2x. The proof is established by demonstrating that ∠TEA = ∠TDA, confirming that quadrilateral AEDT is cyclic. The problem is resolved through this angle relationship.

##TA## and ##TD## are tangent line of circle ##ABCD## and ##TB \parallel DC##. Show ##A,E,D,T## are cyclic quadrilateral.
I know ##x=\angle TAD= \angle TDA = \angle ACD= \angle TEA##
And ##\angle ATD=180-2x##
But I don't know how to prove ##\angle AED=x##.
Or there's another easily method?
Thanks.

I've just known that ##\angle TEA = \angle TDA## prove ##AEDT## are cyclic.
The problem is solved. Thanks.
