A circle can be circumscribed around a quadrilateral if and only if the quadrilateral is cyclic, meaning that its opposite angles are supplementary. This means that the sum of each pair of opposite angles must equal 180 degrees. If this condition is met, then a single circle can be drawn that passes through all four vertices of the quadrilateral. If not, no such circumscribed circle exists.

No, only in certain, limited circumstances. Eg where a quadrilateral is (can be) circumscribed within a circle.
the center of a circumscribed circle is called the focus.
A circle does not belong to the quadrilateral family, as quadrilaterals are defined as polygons with four straight sides, while a circle is a curved shape with no sides or angles. However, if considering a circle's properties in relation to quadrilaterals, one might mention that a circle can be inscribed in or circumscribed around certain quadrilaterals, such as squares or rectangles. This geometric relationship showcases the connection but does not classify a circle as a quadrilateral.
True. In a quadrilateral inscribed in a circumscribed circle (cyclic quadrilateral), the adjacent angles are always supplementary, meaning their measures add up to 180 degrees. This property arises from the fact that opposite angles subtend arcs that sum to a semicircle. Thus, if one angle is known, its adjacent angle can be determined as 180 degrees minus the known angle.

No, they are supplementary.

You cannot circumscribe a "true rhombus". The opposite angles of a circumscribed quadrilateral must be supplementary whereas the opposite angles of a rhombus must be equal. That means a circumscribed rhombus is really a square.

To circumscribed a circle about a triangle you use the angle. This is to get the right measurements.
