Expert Answer:
In triangle AOQ and AO'D the sides are in ratios as the triangles are similar
so AO/AO' = AQ/AD = OQ/O'D
On Solving we get , AO = 2r
Now , If BC is tangent at point E the AE = AO + OE = 3r = O'E
Also , BE = CE
Thus diagonals AO' and BC are bisected at point E
Hence , ABO'C is a parallelogram
