SUMMARY
The problem involves finding the diameter of a cyclic quadrilateral with known side lengths of 1, 2, 3, and an unknown side length d, which represents the diameter of the circumscribed circle. The discussion highlights the use of Ptolemy's theorem and Brahmagupta's formula as potential methods for solving the problem. However, the original poster indicates that these methods did not yield a solution. The link provided offers additional resources on cyclic quadrilaterals for further exploration.
