1. 10.7 Inscribed and Circumscribed Polygons
After studying this section, you will be able to recognize inscribed and circumscribed polygons. You will be able to apply the relationship between opposite angles of an inscribed quadrilateral and Identify the characteristics of an inscribed parallelogram.

2. Polygon PQRST is circumscribed about circle F
Triangle ABC is inscribed in circle O Q P A B F O T C R S
Definition A polygon is inscribed in a circle if all of its vertices lie on the circle.
Definition A polygon is circumscribed about a circle if each of its sides is tangent to the circle.

3. Definition. The center of a circle circumscribed about
Definition The center of a circle circumscribed about a polygon is the circumcenter of the polygon. Q P A B F O T C R S
Definition The center of a circle inscribed in a polygon is the incenter of the polygon.

4. The story of plain Old Parallelogram.
Theorem If a quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle, its opposite angles are supplementary.
The story of plain Old Parallelogram.
Once there was a plain old parallelogram named Rex Tangle.
Rex was always trying to fit in—into a circle, that is.
One day when he awoke, he found that he had straightened out and was finally able to inscribe himself. R E X T
What had the plain old parallelogram turned into?

5. And the moral of our story is…X T
Theorem If a parallelogram is inscribed in a circle, it must be a rectangle.

6. Given Quadrilateral ABCD inscribed in circle O
Example 1
Given Quadrilateral ABCD inscribed in circle O A B
Prove < B is congruent to < ADE O C D E

7. Example 2
Parallelogram ABCD is inscribed in a circle, and its diagonals intersect at E.
Draw the figure
What is true about parallelogram ABCD?
What is BD?
If AB = 5 and BC = 6, find AC
