• Tangent

What is a central angle?

• An angle formed by two tangents

• An angle whose vertex is the center of the circle

• An angle that measures 90 degrees

• An angle formed outside the circle

How is an intercepted arc formed?

• By a diameter

• By two tangents

• By a single radius

• By chords or line segments cutting across a circle

What is the relationship between a central angle and its intercepted arc?

• The central angle is unrelated to the intercepted arc

• The central angle is equal to the intercepted arc
