  2. Cyclic quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_quadrilateral

    Examples of cyclic quadrilaterals. In Euclidean geometry, a cyclic quadrilateral or inscribed quadrilateral is a quadrilateral whose vertices all lie on a single circle.This circle is called the circumcircle or circumscribed circle, and the vertices are said to be concyclic.

  3. Japanese theorem for cyclic polygons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_theorem_for...

    After proving the quadrilateral case, the general case of the cyclic polygon theorem is an immediate corollary. The quadrilateral rule can be applied to quadrilateral components of a general partition of a cyclic polygon, and repeated application of the rule, which "flips" one diagonal, will generate all the possible partitions from any given ...

  4. Japanese theorem for cyclic quadrilaterals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_theorem_for...

    Then the quadrilateral formed by M 1, M 2, M 3, M 4 is a rectangle. Proofs are given by Bogomolny [2] and Reyes. [1] This theorem may be extended to prove the Japanese theorem for cyclic polygons, according to which the sum of inradii of a triangulated cyclic polygon does not depend on how it is triangulated. The special case of the theorem for ...

  5. Ptolemy's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptolemy's_theorem

    Ptolemy's theorem is a relation among these lengths in a cyclic quadrilateral. = + In Euclidean geometry, Ptolemy's theorem is a relation between the four sides and two diagonals of a cyclic quadrilateral (a quadrilateral whose vertices lie on a common circle).

  6. Kite (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kite_(geometry)

    [15] [16] The right kites are exactly the kites that are cyclic quadrilaterals, meaning that there is a circle that passes through all their vertices. [17] The cyclic quadrilaterals may equivalently defined as the quadrilaterals in which two opposite angles are supplementary (they add to 180°); if one pair is supplementary the other is as well ...

  7. Quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrilateral

    A convex quadrilateral is cyclic if and only if opposite angles sum to 180°. Right kite: a kite with two opposite right angles. It is a type of cyclic quadrilateral. Harmonic quadrilateral: a cyclic quadrilateral such that the products of the lengths of the opposing sides are equal. Bicentric quadrilateral: it is both tangential and cyclic.

  8. Circumscribed circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumscribed_circle

    Cyclic polygon, a general polygon that can be circumscribed by a circle. The vertices of this polygon are concyclic points. All triangles are cyclic polygons. Cyclic quadrilateral, a special case of a cyclic polygon.

  9. Brahmagupta theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmagupta_theorem

    In geometry, Brahmagupta's theorem states that if a cyclic quadrilateral is orthodiagonal (that is, has perpendicular diagonals), then the perpendicular to a side from the point of intersection of the diagonals always bisects the opposite side. [1] It is named after the Indian mathematician Brahmagupta (598-668). [2]
