Let's denote all angle with vertices. In triangle ADM we have:
$\frac{A}{2}+\frac{D}{2} + M=180$
In triangle BCP we have:
$\frac{B}{2}+\frac{C}{2}+ P=180$
Summing the two relation we get:
$\frac{A}{2}+\frac{D}{2} +\frac{B}{2}+\frac{C}{2} + M +P=360$
But due to definition we have:
$\frac{A}{2}+\frac{D}{2} +\frac{B}{2}+\frac{C}{2}=\frac{360}{2}= 180$
This means that:
$P+M=180$
That is P and M are supplementary which is specification of cyclic quadrilateral.
