Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Brahmagupta's theorem states that in a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of the squares of the diagonals is equal to the sum of the squares of its sides.

What is the formula for Brahmagupta's theorem?

  1. $$a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + d^2 = 2(AC^2 + BD^2)$$

  2. $$a^2 + b^2 = c^2 + d^2$$
