Exploring Central and Inscribed Angles

What defines a central angle in a circle?

• An angle that is twice the measure of its intercepted arc

• An angle with its vertex at the center of the circle

• An angle with its vertex on the circle's circumference

• An angle that is equal to half the measure of its intercepted arc

If a central angle measures 30 degrees, what is the measure of its intercepted arc?

• 45 degrees

• 60 degrees

• 30 degrees

• 15 degrees

How to find the measure of a central angle given the measure of its intercepted arc?

• Multiply the arc's measure by 2

• Divide the arc's measure by 2

• The measure is the same as the arc's

• Subtract the arc's measure from 180 degrees
