The circumcenter is the center of the circumcircle of a polygon. However, it should be noted that only certain polygons can be circumscribed by a circle. All triangles have a circumcircle whose circumcenter is the intersection of the triangle's perpendicular bisectors. Quadrilaterals which have circumcircles are called cyclic quadrilaterals. Also, every regular polygon is cyclic.
