Hello,

While I don't remember the exact numbers, here's a question on a Circle circumscribed around a Quadrilateral. Given any one angle (say z), can we figure x out? I wasn't sure which property of angles/Circle circumscribed around a polygon to use. Pleas help!

Thanks,

That's called a cyclic quadrilateral, and opposite angles add to 180 degrees.
So, y + w = 180, and x + z = 180.

Cyclic quadrilaterals are common in high school math competitions, but NOT on the GMAT, so don't spend too much time reading about their special properties. (I can't recall any GMAT problem that required you to know special cyclic properties, only the normal properties of a circle and a rectangle/square.)
