Bicentric polygon

Bicentric polygon

In geometry, bicentric polygon is a circumscribed polygon which also has an inscribed circle (a circle that is tangent to each side of the polygon). All triangles and all regular polygons are bicentric. On the other hand, a rectangle with unequal sides is not bicentric, because no circle can be tangent to all four sides.
