The aim of the present work is to study the configuration of two n-sided polygons with cevians where the sides and cevians of the first polygon enclose a constant angle with respective cevians and sides of the second polygon. We prove the existence of such pairs of n-gons, where sides are exchanged with cevians, and we call these polygons "entangled". Among the findings, there are generalizations of Miquel's theorem and Simson lines.
Keywords: Orthologic triangles, entangled polygons, entanglement points, entanglement angle, Miquel point, Miquel circles, generalized Simson line.
