Inscribed Angles

Front

What is an inscribed angle in a circle?

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.

If two chords intersect inside a circle, how do you find the measure of the angles formed?

Back

The measure of each angle formed by two intersecting chords is equal to half the sum of the measures of the arcs intercepted by the angle and its vertical angle.
