If diagonals of a cyclic quadrilateral are diameter of a circle through vertices of quadrilateral, then the quadrilateral is a rectangle.
Justification: Since it's diagonals are diameters, so we can say that the angle subtended by the semicircle so formed are right angles. You will observe that all angles are of 90°. So, the quadrilateral is a cyclic.

Ptolemy’s theorem:-
“If in a quadrilateral, the product of it's vertices is equal to the product of two pair of it's opposite sides, then it is a cyclic.”
For e.g., let us take a cyclic □PQRS. Then,
PR × QS = PQ × RS = QR × PS.
