Chord and Central Angle

Central & Inscribed Angles

Dr. Tom Giles

An inscribed angle, (B), is an angle drawn inside of a circle such that...

• its vertex lies on the circumference of a circle and

  ​

• its sides intercept the circle (A and C).

The Central Angle of a circle is an angle whose...

​

• vertex is at the center (0) of a circle and...

• ​The two arms form two radii of the circle

• intersecting the arc of the circle at different points

​

​Central Angle

​

Multiple Choice

An angle in a circle with vertex on the center of the circle called

• Angle
• Central angle
• Inscribed angle
• Chord

Note that the Central Angle (AOB) cuts the circle in two points...

• at Point A

• at point B

​

​The Arc AB is called the...

Intercepted Arc

​

​Intercepted Arc

​

The central angle anf the Arc has the measure​.

​

So if central angle = 30^o

​The Arc measure = 30^o
