Understanding Arcs and Angles

This video tutorial covers lesson 8.2 Part A, focusing on arcs and central angles. It begins with an introduction to the objectives, explaining the properties of central angles and their corresponding arcs. The video includes example problems to illustrate these concepts, followed by a section on solving equations involving variables to find arc measures. The lesson concludes with a brief mention of the next topic on congruent chords.

What is the main objective of lesson 8.2 Part A?
