Octagon – Definition – Shapes – Types – Formula – Properties What is an Octagon? An octagon is a geometric shape that falls within the category of polygons, specifically an eight-sided polygon. The term “octagon” is derived from the Greek words “okto,” meaning eight, and “gonia,” meaning angles. Below is a detailed exploration of octagons: […]
Read More →A pentagon is a five-sided polygon with five angles. Here are the key parts and properties of a pentagon: (1) Sides (Edges): A pentagon has five sides. Each side is a straight line segment that connects two adjacent vertices. In a regular pentagon, all sides are of equal length. In an irregular pentagon, the lengths […]

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 […]

The center of the circumscribed circle is a point where all the three perpendicular bisectors of the triangles sides are meet. The center of the circumscribed circle is known ascircumcenter of the triangle. […]
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 […]
