A Cyclic Quadrilateral is a quadrilateral that can be inscribed in a circle. They occur frequently on math contests and olympiads due to their interesting properties.


Properties

In cyclic quadrilateral $ABCD$:

  • $\angle A + \angle C = \angle B + \angle D = {180}^{o}$
  • $\angle ABD = \angle ACD$
  • $\angle BCA = \angle BDA$
  • $\angle BAC = \angle BDA$
  • $\angle CAD = \angle CBD$


Applicable Theorems/Formulae

The following theorems and formulae apply to cyclic quadrilaterals:
