Unlocking the Secrets of Inscribed Polygons
Inscribed Polygon: A polygon is said to be inscribed in a circle if all its vertices lie on the circle. The circle is then called the circumscribed circle of the polygon. Any side of the inscribed polygon is also a chord of the circle. The angle subtended by a chord at the center is double […]
