1 8.3 Inscribed Polygons There are a couple very helpful Theorems about Polygons Inscribed within circles that we will look at

2 Semicircle Theorem An angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle
∟D = ∟C = ∟E = ∟F = 90° F E

3 Example 1: Given: Angle A = 25° and AB is the diameter Find: Angle B
Solution 1: AB is the diameter so ΔABC is a right triangle ∟C = 90° semicircle theorem ∟A + ∟B + ∟C = 180° angles of a triangle 25° + ∟B + 90° = 180° substitution ∟B = 180° - 90° - 25° algebra ∟B = 65° C A B

4 Inscribed Quadrilateral Theorem
The opposite angles of an inscribed quadrilateral add up to 180° ∟A + ∟D = 180° ∟B + ∟C = 180° A B C D

5 Example 1: Given ∟C = 100° Find ∟A and ∟B Given ∟D = 60°
Solution 1: ∟A and ∟C are opposite ∟B and ∟D are opposite ∟A + ∟C = 180° → ∟A and ∟100° = 180° ∟A = 80° ∟B + ∟D = 180° → ∟B and ∟60° = 180° ∟B = 120° B A C D
