Inscribed Angles

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, and the sides of the angle are the chords.

What is the relationship between an inscribed angle and the arc it intercepts?

Back

The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc.
