Please Help Me! Explain, using complete sentences, how you can determine whether or not a circle may circumscribe a quadrilateral. (5 points)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

wat do u knw about a cyclic quadrilateral ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isnt it when all the points lay on the inside of a circle or something?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

kindof... a quadrilateral has 4 vertices, so all 4 vertices must lie ON THE circle for it to be called a cyclic quadrilateral

so thats all i say is that if all the points will lie on the circle then it could circumscribe?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats the same way of rewriting the actual question, isnt it ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we're not saying any useful condition for a quadrilateral , to make it cyclic... so you wont get any marks if u just put that

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lets draw a quadrilateral and see if we can figure out something when it becomes cyclic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay
