What is a Central Angle?

A central angle is an angle whose vertex is at the center of the circle and is formed by two radii.

Ways to label angles

Multiple Select

Choose the correct way(s) to label the angle.

• $$\angle ABC$$

• $$\angle CBA$$

• $$\angle B$$

• $$\angle C$$

Ways of Labeling Arcs

• Use the endpoints of the arc:

• CB or BC would be the blue arc

• CDB or BDC would be the red arc (use points in-between endpoints to indicate which direction to go in)

• Arc CBD (Start at C, go to B then go to D)

Multiple Select

Today we are going to learn about the following:

• Central Angle

• Inscribed Angle

• Interior Angle

• Exterior Angle

Central Angle

• A central angle of a circle has a vertex at the center and is formed by two radii.

• The measure of the central angle is the same as the measure of its corresponding arc of the circle.

Multiple Choice

Find the measure of  $$\angle AOB$$   

• $$m\angle AOB=27\degree$$  

• $$m\angle AOB=333\degree$$  

• $$m\angle AOB=207\degree$$  

• $$m\angle AOB=13.5\degree$$  

Inscribed Angle

• An inscribed angle in a circle has a vertex on the circle and is formed by two chords.

• The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its corresponding arc of the circle.
