The circumscribed and the inscribed polygons are well known and mathematically well defined in the context of 2D-Geometry. The term ‘Circum-inscribed Polygon’ has been proposed by the author and used as a new definition of the polygon which satisfies the conditions of a circumscribed polygon and an inscribed polygon together. In other words, the circum-inscribed polygon is a polygon which has both the inscribed and circumscribed circles. The newly defined circum-inscribed polygon has each of its sides touching a circle and each of its vertices lying on another circle. The most common examples of circum-inscribed polygon are triangle, regular polygon, trapezium with each of its non-parallel sides equal to the Arithmetic Mean (AM) of its parallel sides (called circum-inscribed trapezium) and right kite. This paper describes the mathematical derivations of the analytic formula to find out the different parameters in terms of AM and GM of known sides such as radii of circumscribed & inscribed circles, unknown sides, interior angles, diagonals, angle between diagonals, ratio of intersecting diagonals, perimeter, and area of circum-inscribed trapezium and right kite. Like an inscribed polygon, a circum-inscribed polygon always has all of its vertices lying on infinite number of spherical surfaces. All the analytic formulae have been derived using simple trigonometry and 2-dimensional geometry which can be used to analyse the complex 2D and 3D geometric figures such as cyclic quadrilateral and trapezohedron, and other polyhedrons.
Here are some important formula in 2D-Geometry derived by the author Mr H.C. Rajpoot using simple geometry & trigonometry. The formula, derived here, are related to the triangle, square, trapezium, inscribed circles, tangent circles. These formula are very useful for case studies in 2D-Geometry to compute the important parameters of 2D-figures.
