In geometry, a cyclic quadrilateral is a quadrilateral whose vertices all lie on a single circle. The vertices are said to be concyclic. In a cyclic quadrilateral, opposite angles are supplementary (their sum is π radians or 180°). Equivalently, each exterior angle is equal to the opposite interior angle. The area of a cyclic quadrilateral is given by Brahmagupta's formula as long as the sides are given. This area is maximal among all quadrilaterals having the same side lengths. Ptolemy's theorem expresses the product of the lengths of the two diagonals of a cyclic quadrilateral as equal to the sum of the products of opposite sides. In any convex quadrilateral, the two diagonals together partition the quadrilateral into four triangles; in a cyclic quadrilateral, opposite pairs of these four triangles are similar to each other. Any square, rectangle, or isosceles trapezoid is cyclic. A kite is cyclic if and only if it has two right angles. ----Wikipedia

Area formula quadrilateral?
If it is a cyclic quadrilateral, meaning that it can be inscribed in a circle, then you can use the formulawhere S is the semiperimeter (half the sum of all the sides) and a, b, c, and d are all side lengths. If it is not a cyclic quadrilateral or you are unsure if it is or not then use the formula:where S is the semiperimeter (half the sum of all the sides) and a, b, c, and d are all side lengths and A and B are the angle measures across from side lengths a and b.hope this helps
What are the properties of a Quadrilateral within a circle?
If you mean a Quad which touches the circumference at all 4 points, then... # All interior angles add to 360' #Opposite angles add to 180' #The Quad is then referred to as a 'Cyclic Quadrilateral'
Is all rectangles cyclic?
as the sum of opposite angles of a rectangle always equals 180 degrees all rectangles are cyclic Actually a rectangle is only cyclic when the product of the diagonls equals the sum of opposite pairs of sides.
Is a trapezoid always a quadrilateral?
No. A quadrilateral is any four-sided figure. A trapezoid is one example of a quadrilateral.
An quadrilateral parallelogram?
Yes, such a quadrilateral can exist.
What are the properties of a cyclic quadrilateral?
A cyclic quadrilateral is one that has concyclic vertices (its corners all fit on the same circle) and, for a simple cyclic quadrilateral, opposite angles are supplementary.
What is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle called?
It is an inscribed quadrilateral or cyclic quadrilateral.
What is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle?
cyclic
Is a rectangle a cyclic quadrilateral?
yes rectangle is a cyclic quadrilateral because its all angles are 90. so adiing opposite angles is 180.
Are the sides of a cyclic quadrilateral equal?
No. In fact, a rhombus cannot be cyclic - unless it is a square.
What are the opposite angles of a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle?
A quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle it means all the vertices of quadrilateral are touching the circle. therefore it is a cyclic quadrilateral and sum of the opposite angles in cyclic quadrilateral is supplementary. suppose if one angle is A then another will be 180 degree - angle A.
Can you explain which are the quadrilaterals are cyclic?
in a circle 1\3 is quadrilateral
Is every square cyclic?
Yes. The sum of opposite angles is 180 degrees and that is a necessary and sufficient condition for a quadrilateral to be cyclic.
Which Indian mathematician derived the formula of area of cyclic quadrilateral?
brahmagupta
Are all quadrilaterals cyclic quadrilaterals?
No, one example is a kite that DOES NOT have two right angles. It is not a cyclic quadrilateral. A kite that does have two right angles is one.
A circle could be circumscribed about the quadrilateral?
false
What is a cylic quadrilateral?
A cyclic quadrilateral is one where the sum of measures of opposite angles is 180 degrees. I t mostly is formed with the vertices as part of the circumference of a circle.
