What is a cyclic quadrilateral?

Back

A cyclic quadrilateral is a four-sided figure where all vertices lie on the circumference of a circle.

Front

In a cyclic quadrilateral, the opposite angles are supplementary. What does this mean?

Back

It means that the sum of the measures of each pair of opposite angles equals 180 degrees.
