10.3 Inscribed Angles
Definitions Inscribed Angle – An angle whose vertex is on a circle and whose sides contain chords of the circle Intercepted Arc – the arc that lies in the interior of an inscribed angle and has endpoints on the angle (arc AB)
Theorems 1.If an angle is inscribed in a circle, then its measure is half the measure of the intercepted arc. m < APB = ½ AB m < APB = 60
Theorems 2.If two inscribed angles of a circle intercept the same arc, then the angles are congruent. m<DCR = m<RAD
Theorems 3.If a right triangle is inscribed in a circle, then the hypotenuse is a diameter of the circle.
Last Theorem!!!! 4. A quadrilateral can be inscribed in a circle if and only if its opposite sides are supplementary.
Examples 1.Find the measure of arc TR Find the m<DIS 21
Last Example 3. Find the measure of angle D and angle W
