Exploring Central and Inscribed Angles of a Circle

This video tutorial covers central and inscribed angles in circles, explaining their definitions and properties. It discusses arcs, including minor, major, and semicircles, and introduces the arc addition postulate. The tutorial provides examples and problem-solving techniques for calculating angle measures and arc lengths, emphasizing the relationship between inscribed angles and intercepted arcs.

What is a central angle in a circle?

• An angle formed by two tangents to the circle

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

• An angle with its vertex on the circle

• An angle with its vertex outside the circle

How is the measure of a minor arc determined?

• It is 360 degrees minus the measure of its central angle

• It is half the measure of its central angle

• It is equal to the measure of its central angle

• It is double the measure of its central angle

What is the measure of a semicircle?

• 180 degrees

• 270 degrees

• 90 degrees

• 360 degrees

According to the arc addition postulate, what is true about adjacent arcs?

• Their measures add up to the measure of the entire circle

• Their measures subtract to give the central angle

• Their measures add up to 180 degrees

• Their measures are equal
