Abstract

A polygon P is called a reptile, if it can be decomposed into k≥ 2 nonoverlapping and congruent polygons similar to P. We prove that if a cyclic quadrilateral is a reptile, then it is a trapezoid. Comparing with results of U. Betke and I. Osburg we find that every convex reptile is a triangle or a trapezoid.
