Exploring Arcs and Central Angles

What is a central angle in a circle?

• An angle formed by the intersection of two chords

• An angle formed outside the circle

• An angle formed by two radii with the vertex at the center of the circle

• An angle formed by two tangents to the circle

If a central angle measures 70 degrees, what is the measure of its intercepted arc?

• 70 degrees

• 35 degrees

• 140 degrees

• 90 degrees

What is the measure of an arc formed by a diameter?

• 270 degrees

• 360 degrees

How do you find the measure of an angle formed by a straight line through the center of a circle?

• Subtract the angle from 360 degrees

• It is always 180 degrees

• Multiply the angle by 2

• Divide the angle by 2
