... determine a set of conditions on a polygon that is sufficient to conclude whether a circle can circumscribe that polygon. In particular, we can show that every regular polygon can be circumscribed by a circle—that, is every regular polygon is cyclic. To show that every regular polygon is cyclic, we ...

Summary of Objectives
... Obj: Apply theorems about inequalities in triangles. (The sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third. If two sides of a triangle are unequal, then the larger angle lies opposite the longer side. If two angles of a triangle are unequal, then the longer side lies opposite the larger ...

History of geometry
Geometry (from the Ancient Greek: γεωμετρία; geo- ""earth"", -metron ""measurement"") arose as the field of knowledge dealing with spatial relationships. Geometry was one of the two fields of pre-modern mathematics, the other being the study of numbers (arithmetic).Classic geometry was focused in compass and straightedge constructions. Geometry was revolutionized by Euclid, who introduced mathematical rigor and the axiomatic method still in use today. His book, The Elements is widely considered the most influential textbook of all time, and was known to all educated people in the West until the middle of the 20th century.In modern times, geometric concepts have been generalized to a high level of abstraction and complexity, and have been subjected to the methods of calculus and abstract algebra, so that many modern branches of the field are barely recognizable as the descendants of early geometry.
