    My solution was this: knowing that in a cyclic quadrilareral the sum of the opposite angles is 180°, I've found diagonal AC with cosine rule on ABC and ADC triangles, then compared the identities, and it is: AC = √ 247/7 than knowing that cos α = 3/7 I've found sin α = 2/7√ 10 In the sines law we know that every ratio between sides and sines of opposite angles are equal and the ratio is the diameter of the circumscribed circle, so r = (√ 247/7)/(2/7√ 10)*1/2

    I solved the problem using the law of cosines and then the law of sines on an inscribed triangle. This is certainly an UPHILL walk (I'm strong in Algebra & Trigonometry but mediocre in Geometry), but it is very worth it. But I'll stick with the fundamental theorems for now and leave the advanced ones for later.

    As many have commented here, cosine law makes for a much less involved solution. It is preferable not to have to resort to so many arcane theorems about circles such as Brahmagupta's Law, Ptolemy's Theorem, etc. I solved using only cosine law and some algebra, AND the fact that the opposite angles inside a cyclic quadrilateral must add up to 180 degrees, AND the fact that the angle at the centre subtending a given arc is twice the angle subtended the same arc from any point on the circle circumference.

    The quick and easy way to solve this is to use the cosine (supplement) rule (which is what you use to derive Stewart’s Theorem). In any triangle, the cosine of any angle is (the sum of the squares of the adjacent sides, less the square of the opposite side) all divided by twice the product of the adjacent sides. The sum of the opposite angles of cyclic quadrilaterals add up to 180 degrees, and The cosine of an angle is minus the cosine of the supplement of that angle. Make AC = x, then: CosD = - cosB (5^2 +6^2 -x^2)/5*6*2 = (x^2 -3^2 -4^2)/2*3*4 x = 5.135 = AC Finding the radius of the circumscribed circle of a triangle is easy = 3.287, which agrees with the official answer.

    Not many people know these advanced theorems. Certainly not me. I would stick with the cosine rule. This is like solving a geometry problem on a triangle with trigonometry (a faster solution but misses the logic used to solve the problem), or like solving a difficult limits problem with L'Hospitale rule (may not be allowed at that point).

    Without rare formulas , with only the law of cosines: In ABD, the BAD angle is @ : BD^2=3^2 + 6^2 - 2*3*6*cos@= 45-36*cos@ In CBD, the BCD angle is 180-@, so : BD^2=4^2 + 5^2 - 2*4*5*cos (180-@)= 41+40*cos@ So, cos@ is 1/19, BD^2 = 819/19 = 9*7*13/ 19, BD^2 =~43, and , because BD^2 is smaller than AB^2+ AD^2=45, BAD angle is smaller than 90 degrees. If O is the center of the circle, BOD angle is twice of @, so cos(BOD) = cos(2@) = 2(cos@)^2 - 1 = - 359/19*19 In BOD triangle, BD^2 = r^2 + r^2 - 2*r*r*cos(BOD) 9*7*13/19 = 2*r^2 + 2*r^2*359/19*19, so 9*7*13/ 19 = 2*r^2 (1+359/19*19) , so 9*7*13/19*2 = r^2*(361+359)/(19*19), r^2 = 9*7*13*19 / 2*720= 7*13*19/ 16*10

    I have connected vertices with the center of the circle and recieved 4 iscoseles triangles in which central angles are proportional to the chords they stand on. Therefore, angles are 60,80,100 and 120 degrees. in a triangle with the 120 degrees angle two other angles are equal 30 degrees each and lateral sides are equal the Radius. We can now find the radius.

(I) ii) Furthermore S P=[ABD] +[BCD] analogously we obtain: P=(y/4R).(ad+cd) ...(II) from (I) and (II) we have to P²=(xy/16R²)(ab+cd)(ad+bc) of the quadrilateral inscribed in a circle theorem xy= ac+bd we have to: P²=(ab+cd)(ad+bc)(ac+bd). .(1/16R²) ... (3) of (2) in the quadrilateral: yes s=(a+b+c+d)/2 P²= (s-a)(s-b)(s-c)(s-d) ...(4) from (3) and (4) we obtain R. I wish you a good day!

    I ask the professor to take the time from his busy schedule to kindly explain why the following method which produces a slightly different answer is incorrect. I can find nothing wrong. The entire class may learn something from the exercise. Make point “O” the center of the circle. Extend radii to points A, B, C, and D. Lines AD, DC, CB, and AB will generate central angles proportionate to their length: 6, 5, 4 and 3. Their sum is 18. Divide 360 by 18 to get 20. Then angle AOD = 6 x 20 = 120 degrees. Now draw a perpendicular bisector from O to “E,” the center of chord AD. That produces two 30, 60, 90 right triangles because the bisector splits the central angle 120 degrees, intersects the chord at a right angle, and the remaining angle must be 180-(60 + 90) = 30. Focus on right triangle OED. OD is the radius (hypotenuse), ED, the smallest side, = 3 because it is 1/2 of 6 split by the perpendicular bisector. Now applying the familiar 1, 2, sq rt of 3 ratios of the sides of 30, 60, 90 right triangles, 2/sq rt 3 = radius (OD) /3. A little algebra reveals the radius is 2 x square rt 3 = 3.464… Your answer is 3.287… What’s “off,” if anything?

    Hi Monroe : Your error is almost certainly the assumption that "Lines AD, DC, CB, and AB will generate central angles proportionate to their length". That is, you are assuming here that in a given circle, the length of any chord is directly proportional to the actual angle subtended by the chord. This is false. Recall the "Sine Law" for triangles : The meaning of sinA/a = sinB/b is that the sides in any given triangle are proportional NOT to the vertex angles themselves, but to the SINES of the vertex angles. The same thing is true here with chords in a circle. The lengths of chords in any given circle are proportional not to the angles themselves, but to the SINES of the half-angles subtended by the chord.

    Is it not the case that the two halves of the quadrilateral form two triangles joined along a "hypotenuse" that contacts the circle's circumference at two points. It appears that the only solution for that length is 9, where both triangles collapse to a line segment, and we get it as both the sum of 3+6 and 4+5? Then there is no quadrilateral at all and no real way to decide if 9 is a diameter.

    @@GWaters-xr1fv Don't you think that opening your reply with "gibberish" is rather the work of a troll? To repeat, consider either triangle with the 3-6 sides or the 4-5 sides. Connect each with a line segment. Then postulate bringing these two triangles together along these lines such that they must be equal. Ignore the question of any circle within which they may or may not be contained, simply consider the constraint of equality of the connecting line. Call the angle between the 3-6 lines alpha and the angle between the 4-5 lines beta. Solve using the cosine law for the two opposite sides being of the same length. I fine both angles are pi radians and the two triangles have collapsed to line segments of 9 each. I never claimed that this would be a diameter. In fact, one could draw any old circle around this line segment.
