30. Let ABCD be the rhombus circumscribing the circle
with center O, such that AB, BC, CD and DA touch
the circle at points P, Q, R and S respectively.
We know that the tangents drawn to a circle from an
exterior point are equal in length.

∴ AP = AS.............(1)
BP = BQ...............(2)
CR = CQ ...............(3)
DR = DS...............(4).
Adding (1), (2), (3) and (4) we get
AP+BP+CR+DR = AS+BQ+CQ+DS
(AP+BP) + (CR+DR) = (AS+DS) + (BQ+CQ)
∴ AB+CD=AD+BC-----------(5)
Since AB=DC and AD=BC (opposite sides of parallelogram ABCD)
putting in (5) we get, 2AB=2AD
or AB = AD.
∴ AB=BC=DC=AD
Since a parallelogram with equal adjacent sides is a rhombus, so ABCD is a
rhombus

33. According to the question,

BD = CD and OD = DX

Therefore, BC and OX bisect each other and OBXC is a parallelogram.

This gives BX || CO and CX || BO

or BX || CF and CX || BE
or BX || OF and CX || OE

In △ABX, as BX || OF, then,

𝐴𝑂 𝐴𝐹
𝐴𝑋

In △ACX as CX || OE, then

𝐴𝑂 𝐴𝐸
𝐴𝑋

………(2)
From equation (1) and (2).
𝐴𝐸 𝐴𝐹
𝐴𝐶
= 𝐴𝐵

Hence, as E and F divides AB and AC respectively in the same ratio, so, FE || BC.
