Angles of Circles

Angles of Circles

Goal: I can find missing measures of angles and arcs using circle theorems.

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.
