Definition, Properties, Examples – Cyclic Quadrilaterals What is a Cyclic Quadrilateral A cyclic quadrilateral is a four sided polygon that is inscribed in a circle. The vertices are said concyclic. The center of the circle is called circumcenter and radius of the circle is called circumradius. Definition: A Cyclic Quadrilateral is a quadrilateral, whose all four vertices […]

Given: A circle with center O, AB and CD are chords of circle that subtend equal angles at center O. i,e. ∠AOB = ∠COD. To prove: chord AB = chord CD Proof: In △AOB and △ CODOA = OC (Radius of circle)∠AOB […]
Read More →Equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the center. Given: Two equal chords AB and CD of a circle with center O. i,e. AB = CD. To prove: ∠AOB = ∠COD Proof: In △AOB and △ COD OA = OC (Radius of circle)OB = OD (Radius of circle)AB = CD (Given) Hence, △AOB ≅ △ COD (SSS Congruence rule) ∴ ∠AOB […]

Read More →Circumscribed and Inscribed Circle 1. Circumscribed circle In geometry, the Circumscribed circle or circumcircle of a polygon is a circle that passes inside a circle in such a way that all its vertices lie on the circle, or just touch the circle. Centre of this circle is called circumcenter and its radius is called […]
