Lesson One

Aim : How can we find the measures of inscribed angles and central angles ?

Do Now:
Find the following Arc measures What is the measure of <A

a. m RS (arc)= 80
° 1
<A = (80 ° )
2
b. m<SPT = 100 °
<A= 40 °
c. m ST(arc)= 100
°

d. m RTS(arc)= 280
Brief Review:

*A central angles vertex is at the center of a circle.

*The measure of a central angle is equal to the measure of the intercepted arc.

M<POQ = arc PQ

*Inscribed Angle: An angle whose vertex lies on a circle and whose sides are chords of the circle

Theorems

Theorem 1: In the same or in congruent Theorem 2: In the same or in congruent

circles if two central angles are circles if two chords are congruent their
congruent then the arcs they intercept arcs are congruent
are congruent

Theorem 3: in a circle , or congruent Theorem 4: In a circle parallel chords

circles, congruent chords are equidistant intercept congruent arcs
from the center.
