  2. Tangential quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_quadrilateral

    A tangential quadrilateral with its incircle. In Euclidean geometry, a tangential quadrilateral (sometimes just tangent quadrilateral) or circumscribed quadrilateral is a convex quadrilateral whose sides all can be tangent to a single circle within the quadrilateral.

  3. Bretschneider's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretschneider's_formula

    Bretschneider's formula generalizes Brahmagupta's formula for the area of a cyclic quadrilateral, which in turn generalizes Heron's formula for the area of a triangle.. The trigonometric adjustment in Bretschneider's formula for non-cyclicality of the quadrilateral can be rewritten non-trigonometrically in terms of the sides and the diagonals e and f to give [2] [3]

  4. Quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrilateral

    A quadric quadrilateral is a convex quadrilateral whose four vertices all lie on the perimeter of a square. [7] A diametric quadrilateral is a cyclic quadrilateral having one of its sides as a diameter of the circumcircle. [8] A Hjelmslev quadrilateral is a quadrilateral with two right angles at opposite vertices. [9]

  5. Brahmagupta's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmagupta's_formula

    In Euclidean geometry, Brahmagupta's formula, named after the 7th century Indian mathematician, is used to find the area of any convex cyclic quadrilateral (one that can be inscribed in a circle) given the lengths of the sides. Its generalized version, Bretschneider's formula, can be used with non-cyclic quadrilateral.

  6. Heron's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heron's_formula

    Heron's formula can be obtained from Brahmagupta's formula or Bretschneider's formula by setting one of the sides of the quadrilateral to zero. Brahmagupta's formula gives the area ⁠ K {\displaystyle K} ⁠ of a cyclic quadrilateral whose sides have lengths ⁠ a , {\displaystyle a,} ⁠ ⁠ b , {\displaystyle b,} ⁠ ⁠ c , {\displaystyle c ...

  7. Perimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perimeter

    A perimeter is a closed path that encompasses, surrounds, or outlines either a two dimensional shape or a one-dimensional length. The perimeter of a circle or an ellipse is called its circumference. Calculating the perimeter has several practical applications. A calculated perimeter is the length of fence required to surround a yard or garden.

  8. Cyclic quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_quadrilateral

    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 .

  9. 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).
