A quadrilateral is a 4-sided polygon bounded by 4 finite line segments. The word ‘quadrilateral’ is composed of two Latin words, Quadric meaning ‘four’ and latus meaning ‘side’ . It is a two-dimensional figure having four sides (or edges) and four vertices. A circle is the locus of all points in a plane which are equidistant from a fixed point. If all the four vertices of a quadrilateral ABCD lie on the circumference of the circle, then ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. In other words, if any four points on the circumference of a circle are joined, they form vertices of a cyclic quadrilateral. It can be visualized as a quadrilateral which is inscribed in a circle, i.e.. all four vertices of the quadrilateral lie on the circumference of the circle. What is a Cyclic Quadrilateral? In the figure given below, the quadrilateral ABCD is cyclic. ©FlexiPrep.

Properties of Equidiagonal Quadrilaterals (2014)
Forum Geometricorum Volume 14 (2014) 129–144. FORUM GEOM ISSN 1534-1178 Properties of Equidiagonal Quadrilaterals Martin Josefsson Abstract. We prove eight necessary and sufficient conditions for a convex quadri- lateral to have congruent diagonals, and one dual connection between equidiag- onal and orthodiagonal quadrilaterals. Quadrilaterals with both congruent and perpendicular diagonals are also discussed, including a proposal for what they may be called and how to calculate their area in several ways. Finally we derive a cubic equation for calculating the lengths of the congruent diagonals. 1. Introduction One class of quadrilaterals that have received little interest in the geometrical literature are the equidiagonal quadrilaterals. They are defined to be quadrilat- erals with congruent diagonals. Three well known special cases of them are the isosceles trapezoid, the rectangle and the square, but there are other as well. Fur- thermore, there exists many equidiagonal quadrilaterals that besides congruent di- agonals have no special properties. Take any convex quadrilateral ABCD and move the vertex D along the line BD into a position D such that AC = BD. Then ABCD is an equidiagonal quadrilateral (see Figure 1). C D D A B Figure 1. An equidiagonal quadrilateral ABCD Before we begin to study equidiagonal quadrilaterals, let us define our notations. In a convex quadrilateral ABCD, the sides are labeled a = AB, b = BC, c = CD and d = DA, and the diagonals are p = AC and q = BD. We use θ for the angle between the diagonals. The line segments connecting the midpoints of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are called the bimedians and are denoted m and n, where m connects the midpoints of the sides a and c.

Cyclic Quadrilaterals — the Big Picture Yufei Zhao [email protected]
Winter Camp 2009 Cyclic Quadrilaterals Yufei Zhao Cyclic Quadrilaterals | The Big Picture Yufei Zhao [email protected] An important skill of an olympiad geometer is being able to recognize known configurations. Indeed, many geometry problems are built on a few common themes. In this lecture, we will explore one such configuration. 1 What Do These Problems Have in Common? 1. (IMO 1985) A circle with center O passes through the vertices A and C of triangle ABC and intersects segments AB and BC again at distinct points K and N, respectively. The circumcircles of triangles ABC and KBN intersects at exactly two distinct points B and M. ◦ Prove that \OMB = 90 . B M N K O A C 2. (Russia 1995; Romanian TST 1996; Iran 1997) Consider a circle with diameter AB and center O, and let C and D be two points on this circle. The line CD meets the line AB at a point M satisfying MB < MA and MD < MC. Let K be the point of intersection (different from ◦ O) of the circumcircles of triangles AOC and DOB. Show that \MKO = 90 . C D K M A O B 3. (USA TST 2007) Triangle ABC is inscribed in circle !. The tangent lines to ! at B and C meet at T . Point S lies on ray BC such that AS ? AT . Points B1 and C1 lies on ray ST (with C1 in between B1 and S) such that B1T = BT = C1T . Prove that triangles ABC and AB1C1 are similar to each other. 1 Winter Camp 2009 Cyclic Quadrilaterals Yufei Zhao A B S C C1 B1 T Although these geometric configurations may seem very different at first sight, they are actually very related.

Cyclic Quadrilaterals
GI_PAGES19-42 3/13/03 7:02 PM Page 1 Cyclic Quadrilaterals Definition: Cyclic quadrilateral—a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle (Figure 1). Construct and Investigate: 1. Construct a circle on the Voyage™ 200 with Cabri screen, and label its center O. Using the Polygon tool, construct quadrilateral ABCD where A, B, C, and D are on circle O. By the definition given Figure 1 above, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral (Figure 1). Cyclic quadrilaterals have many interesting and surprising properties. Use the Voyage 200 with Cabri tools to investigate the properties of cyclic quadrilateral ABCD. See whether you can discover several relationships that appear to be true regardless of the size of the circle or the location of A, B, C, and D on the circle. 2. Measure the lengths of the sides and diagonals of quadrilateral ABCD. See whether you can discover a relationship that is always true of these six measurements for all cyclic quadrilaterals. This relationship has been known for 1800 years and is called Ptolemy’s Theorem after Alexandrian mathematician Claudius Ptolemaeus (A.D. 85 to 165). 3. Determine which quadrilaterals from the quadrilateral hierarchy can be cyclic quadrilaterals (Figure 2). 4. Over 1300 years ago, the Hindu mathematician Brahmagupta discovered that the area of a cyclic Figure 2 quadrilateral can be determined by the formula: A = (s – a)(s – b)(s – c)(s – d) where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of the sides of the a + b + c + d quadrilateral and s is the semiperimeter given by s = 2 . Using cyclic quadrilaterals, verify these relationships.

Cyclic and Bicentric Quadrilaterals G
Cyclic and Bicentric Quadrilaterals G. T. Springer Email: [email protected] Hewlett-Packard Calculators and Educational Software Abstract. In this hands-on workshop, participants will use the HP Prime graphing calculator and its dynamic geometry app to explore some of the many properties of cyclic and bicentric quadrilaterals. The workshop will start with a brief introduction to the HP Prime and an overview of its features to get novice participants oriented. Participants will then use ready-to-hand constructions of cyclic and bicentric quadrilaterals to explore. Part 1: Cyclic Quadrilaterals The instructor will send you an HP Prime app called CyclicQuad for this part of the activity. A cyclic quadrilateral is a convex quadrilateral that has a circumscribed circle. 1. Press ! to open the App Library and select the CyclicQuad app. The construction consists DEGH, a cyclic quadrilateral circumscribed by circle A. 2. Tap and drag any of the points D, E, G, or H to change the quadrilateral. Which of the following can DEGH never be? • Square • Rhombus (non-square) • Rectangle (non-square) • Parallelogram (non-rhombus) • Isosceles trapezoid • Kite Just move the points of the quadrilateral around enough to convince yourself for each one. Notice HDE and HE are both inscribed angles that subtend the entirety of the circle; ≮ ≮ likewise with DHG and DEG. This leads us to a defining characteristic of cyclic ≮ ≮ quadrilaterals. Make a conjecture. A quadrilateral is cyclic if and only if… 3. Make DEGH into a kite, similar to that shown to the right. Tap segment HE and press E to select it. Now use U and D to move the diagonal vertically.

Angle Bisectors in a Quadrilateral Are Concurrent
Angle Bisectors in a Quadrilateral in the classroom A Ramachandran he bisectors of the interior angles of a quadrilateral are either all concurrent or meet pairwise at 4, 5 or 6 points, in any case forming a cyclic quadrilateral. The situation of exactly three bisectors being concurrent is not possible. See Figure 1 for a possible situation. The reader is invited to prove these as well as observations regarding some of the special cases mentioned below. Start with the last observation. Assume that three angle bisectors in a quadrilateral are concurrent. Join the point of T D E H A F G B C Figure 1.
