Book III   Proposition 22
But
    the angles ABC, BAC, ACB are equal to two right angles;
therefore
    the angles ABC, ADC are also equal to two right angles.
Similarly we can prove that
    the angles BAD, DCB are also equal to two right angles.

Therefore
    the opposite angles of quadrilaterals in circles are equal to two right angles.

Being what it was required to prove.
