WU Central Angles and Inscribed Angles

Front

What is a central angle?

Back

A central angle is an angle whose vertex is at the center of a circle and whose sides are radii that intersect the circle.

Front

What is an inscribed angle?

Back

An inscribed angle is an angle formed by two chords in a circle which have a common endpoint. The vertex of the angle is on the circle.
