What is a polygon his vertices are on a circle and who's other points are inside the circle?

A polygon whose vertices are on a circle and whose other points are inside the circle is called a "cyclic polygon." The circle is known as the circumcircle of the polygon, and all the vertices lie on its circumference. In addition to the vertices, the polygon may have additional points that are located within the circle, but those points do not change the cyclic nature of the polygon. Examples include triangles, quadrilaterals, and other polygons as long as their vertices are on the circle.


How do you find the radius of segmented circle?

Assuming all the vertices of the segmentation lie on the circle, then you can choose any three of them as the corners of a triangle circumscribed by the circle. The perpendicular bisectors of the sides of that triangle intersect at the center of the circle.


How many triangles can be formed by joining the vertices of a cube which do not lie on the faces?

A cube has 8 vertices, and to form a triangle, we need to select 3 vertices. However, to ensure that the selected vertices do not lie on the same face, we can only select vertices that are not all on the same plane. The valid combinations of vertices that can form a triangle while avoiding faces result in 0 possibilities since any selection of 3 vertices from a cube will always include at least one face. Therefore, no triangles can be formed by joining the vertices of a cube that do not lie on the faces.


Why can't a concave quadrilateral be regular?

By definition, a regular polygon has all interior angles the same, but a concave polygon has some interior angles that are not identical. Also, it violates the axiom that all vertices lie on a circle.While it is possible to construct a polygon with equilateral sides, to be concave would require a form that is equally convex and laterally opposite. (An example is a 'solid arrow shape.')


What does the center of a circle lie on?

Prove four vertices of pentagon are concyclic?

First make sure you understand that concyclic simply means the points lie on a common circle. We are not told it is a regular pentagon but we will assume it is. We could create pentagons that are not even convex and would not be concyclic.Let's start with a regular pentagon. You can split it up into 5 congruent triangles with the points meeting at the middle. Any side of one of these triangle is connected from each of the vertices of the pentagon to the center of the pentagon. Since all 5 triangles are congruent, this distance must be the same for each of the vertices. So, we see that each of the vertices is equidistant from a given point. Now if we drew a circle centered at that point with a radius equal to the distance between the point and any vertex, that circle would pass through all 5 vertices. Therefore any four ( really all 5), vertices of a regular pentagon are concyclic.A nice proof would use Ptolemy's theorem. I will place a line to an answers.com page that helps with that.Another solution:The pentagon has to be regular. Otherwise, the question is impossible to prove.Consider a regular polygon ABCDE.Take triangles BCD & ECDBC=ED (sides of a regular polygon are equal)CD=CD (common side)

How many vertices are in a 3d rectangle?

Rectangles are 2-dimensional figures- they lie in a plane- they have four vertices There really is no such thing as a 3D rectangle. If you mean a rectangular prism, it has 8 vertices, 4 on each of its two parallel faces.


Is boxes a polygon?

No, a polygon must be 2 dimensional and lie on a single plane.
