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.

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 .

  • 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.

  • Two-Dimensional Figures a Plane Is a Flat Surface That Extends Infinitely in All Directions
    NAME CLASS DATE Two-Dimensional Figures A plane is a flat surface that extends infinitely in all directions. A parallelogram like the one below is often used to model a plane, but remember that a plane—unlike a parallelogram—has no boundaries or sides. A plane figure or two-dimensional figure is a figure that lies completely in one plane. When you draw, either by hand or with a computer program, you draw two-dimensional figures. Blueprints are two-dimensional models of real-life objects. Polygons are closed, two-dimensional figures formed by three or more line segments that intersect only at their endpoints. These figures are polygons. These figures are not polygons. This is not a polygon A heart is not a polygon A circle is not a polygon because it is an open because it is has curves. because it is made of figure. a curve. Polygons are named by the number of sides and angles they have. A polygon always has the same number of sides as angles. Listed on the next page are the most common polygons. Each of the polygons shown is a regular polygon. All the angles of a regular polygon have the same measure and all the sides are the same length.
