[1] [2] Due to the risk of confusion with a quadrilateral that has a circumcircle, which is called a cyclic quadrilateral or inscribed quadrilateral, it is preferable not to use any of the last five names. [1] All triangles can have an incircle, but not all quadrilaterals do.
This formula generalizes Heron's formula for the area of a triangle. A triangle may be regarded as a quadrilateral with one side of length zero. From this perspective, as d (or any one side) approaches zero, a cyclic quadrilateral converges into a cyclic triangle (all triangles are cyclic), and Brahmagupta's formula simplifies to Heron's formula.
In geometry, a cyclic quadrilateral or inscribed quadrilateral is a quadrilateral (four-sided polygon) whose vertices all lie on a single circle, making the sides chords of the circle. This circle is called the circumcircle or circumscribed circle , and the vertices are said to be concyclic .
The largest possible ratio of the area of the inscribed square to the area of the triangle is 1/2, which occurs when =, = /, and the altitude of the triangle from the base of length is equal to . The smallest possible ratio of the side of one inscribed square to the side of another in the same non-obtuse triangle is 2 2 / 3 {\displaystyle 2 ...
Inscribed circles of various polygons An inscribed triangle of a circle A tetrahedron (red) inscribed in a cube (yellow) which is, in turn, inscribed in a rhombic triacontahedron (grey). (Click here for rotating model) In geometry, an inscribed planar shape or solid is one that is enclosed by and "fits snugly" inside another geometric shape or ...
The quadrilateral with given side lengths that has the maximum area is the cyclic quadrilateral. [43] Of all convex quadrilaterals with given diagonals, the orthodiagonal quadrilateral has the largest area. [38]: p.119 This is a direct consequence of the fact that the area of a convex quadrilateral satisfies
If the sizes of an inscribed and a circumscribed circle are fixed, the right kite has the largest area of any quadrilateral trapped between them. [ 19 ] Among all quadrilaterals, the shape that has the greatest ratio of its perimeter to its diameter (maximum distance between any two points) is an equidiagonal kite with angles 60°, 75°, 150 ...
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]
