1. Central Angle: A central angle is an angle formed by two intersecting radii such that its vertex is at the center of the circle. Central Angle = Intercepted Arc <AOB is a central angle. Its intercepted arc is the minor arc from A to B. m<AOB = 80º

The measure of an inscribed angle or a tangent-chord angle is ½ the measure of its intercepted arc

A D B C is a central angle Example: A D B C Given: mAC = Find: Inscribed Angles An inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex is on a circle and whose sides are determined by two chords.

Tangent-chord Angles D F E DE is a tangent and EF is a chord is a tangent-chord angle A tangent-chord angle is an angle who vertex is on a circle and whose sides are determined by a tangent and a chord that intersect at the tangent’s point of contact Example: A C B Given: AB is tangent at B, Find:

Tangent-tangent Angles A B C AB and BC are tangents which means that Example: C D E Given: Find: A tangent-tangent angle is an angle whose vertex is outside a circle and whose sides are determined by two tangents D

The measure of a chord-chord angle is ½ the sum of the measures of the arcs intercepted by the chord-chord angle and its vertical angle.

Chord-chord Angles A chord-chord angle is an angle formed by two chords that intersect inside a circle but not at the center. A B C D AC and BD are chords E Example: A B C D E Given: Find:

The measure of a secant-secant angle, a secant-tangent angle, or a tangent-tangent angle is ½ the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

Secant-secant Angles A secant-secant angle is an angle whose vertex is outside a circle and whose sides are determined by two secants. A B C D E AC and CD are secants Example: A B C D E Given: Find:

Secant-tangent Angles A secant-tangent angle is an angle whose vertex is outside a circle and whose sides are determined by a secant and a tangent. A B C D AB is a tangent and BD is a secant Example: Given: B C D A Find:
