A cyclic quadrilateral β€” a quadrilateral whose four vertices all lie on a single circle β€” has supplementary opposite angles.

This means that opposite angles add to 180 degrees, or \(\pi\) radians.

As it turns out, this is actually an equivalence relation. If a quadrilateral has supplementary opposite angles, it's a cyclic quadrilateral.

This fact about supplementary opposite angles was very useful for an animation I was trying to create... I may share it here later!
