Exploring Central and Inscribed Angles

What is the definition of a central angle in a circle?

• An angle with its vertex outside the circle

• An angle with its vertex on the circle

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

• An angle formed by two tangents to the circle

If an arc measures 98 degrees, what is the measure of the central angle intercepting it?

• 196 degrees

• 24.5 degrees

• 98 degrees

• 49 degrees

What is the relationship between the central angle and the arc it intercepts?

• The central angle is half the measure of the arc

• The central angle is twice the measure of the arc

• The central angle and the arc have the same measure

• There is no relationship
