Tangential quadrilateral all of whose sides are tangent to a single conic section has three diagonals that meet at a point. From a tangential quadrilateral, one can form a hexagon with two 180° angles, by placing two new vertices at two opposite points of tangency; all six of the sides of this hexagon lie on lines tangent to the inscribed circle, so its diagonals meet at a point. But two of these diagonals are the same as the diagonals of the tangential quadrilateral, and the third diagonal of the hexagon is the line through two opposite points of tangency. Repeating this same
Transversal plane Transversal plane In geometry, a transversal plane is a plane that intersects (not contains) two or more lines or planes. A transversal plane may also form dihedral angles. Transversal plane theorem for lines: Lines that intersect a transversal plane are parallel if and only if their alternate interior angles formed by the points of intersection are congruent. Transversal plane theorem for planes: Planes intersected by a transversal plane are parallel if and only if their alternate interior dihedral angles are congruent. Transversal line containment theorem: If a transversal line is contained in any plane other than the plane containing all
