A cyclic quadrilateral is a quadrilateral that can be inscribed in a circle. While all triangles are cyclic, the same is not true of quadrilaterals. They have a number of interesting properties.
Properties
In a quadrilateral 
:
This property is both sufficient and necessary (Sufficient & necessary = if and only if), and is often used to show that a quadrilateral is cyclic.
- All four perpendicular bisectors are concurrent. The converse is also true. This intersection is the circumcenter of the quadrilateral.
- Any two opposite sites of the quadrilateral are antiparallel with respect to the other two opposite sites.
This property is both sufficient and necessary (Sufficient & necessary = if and only if), and is often used to show that a quadrilateral is cyclic.
