[edit]

The cyclic equidiagonal quadrilaterals are exactly the isosceles trapezoids.(can be found in the Relations to Other Types of Quadrilaterals section) what does this exactly mean? WorldDiagram837 (talk) 03:16, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It means: if a quadrilateral has two equal-length diagonals, and if also its vertices all lie on a circle, then it is a trapezoid and the two non-parallel sides of the trapezoid have equal length. And vice versa: if it is a trapezoid with equal sides, then it also has equal diagonals and its vertices all lie on a circle. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:01, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
alright I was just thinking what you said , however, is it me or the sentence wording is weird?( are exactly the isosceles trapezoids) why not simple maybe the cyclic equidiagonal quadrilaterals are isosceles trapzeoids... WorldDiagram837 (talk) 10:21, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
thanks though WorldDiagram837 (talk) 10:21, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Because your wording would suggest an implication in one direction but not the other direction. The implication goes both ways. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:55, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
then maybe just add a vice-versa at the end of my sentence? the wording of that sentence is still a little awkward for me. WorldDiagram837 (talk) 02:40, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
