Brahmagupta's theorem can easily be extended.
Extension of Brahmagupta's Theorem
If a cyclic crossed quadrilateral is orthodiagonal (that is, two of the lines passing through the 4 vertices and not coinciding with the sides intersect perpendicularly at a point M outside the circle), then the perpendicular to a side from the point M always bisects the opposite side (intersecting sides are opposite each other).
