Exploring Central and Inscribed Angles

This video tutorial covers angles in and on circles, including arcs, central angles, and inscribed angles. It defines key terms such as arc, chord, central angle, and inscribed angle, and explores the relationships between these angles and arcs. The video explains that a central angle's measure equals its intercepted arc, while an inscribed angle's measure is half of its intercepted arc. The tutorial concludes with a summary of these concepts.

What defines an arc in a circle?

• The area inside the circle

• A part of the circle's circumference between two points

• The entire circumference of the circle

• A line segment inside the circle

What is a central angle?

• An angle with its vertex outside the circle

• An angle whose vertex is at the center of the circle

• An angle formed by two diameters

• An angle whose arms extend to the center of the circle

How is the measure of a central angle related to its intercepted arc?

• The angle's measure is equal to the arc's measure

• The angle's measure is twice the arc's measure

• The angle's measure is half the arc's measure

• There is no relationship

If an arc's measure is 80 degrees, what is the measure of the central angle intercepting it?

• 40 degrees

• 20 degrees

• 80 degrees

• 160 degrees

What is a chord in a circle?

• A curved segment within the circle

• The longest possible segment in a circle

• A segment that passes through the circle's center

• A segment whose endpoints lie on the circle's circumference

What distinguishes a chord from a diameter?

• A chord is always longer than a diameter

• A diameter is a special type of chord

• A chord can never pass through the center, while a diameter does

• There is no difference

How is an inscribed angle formed?

• By two intersecting chords

• By two parallel chords

• By a chord and a tangent intersecting

• By two chords sharing an endpoint

What is the relationship between an inscribed angle and its intercepted arc?

• The angle's measure is equal to the arc's measure

• The angle's measure is twice the arc's measure

• The angle's measure is one-fourth the arc's measure

• The angle's measure is half the arc's measure

If an inscribed angle measures 30 degrees, what is the measure of its intercepted arc?

• 30 degrees

• 15 degrees

• 120 degrees

• 60 degrees

How does the measure of an inscribed angle change when its intercepted arc's measure doubles?

• It quadruples

• It halves

• It remains the same

• It doubles
