6. What do we call this type of angle? What is the value of x?
How do we solve for y?
The measure of the inscribed angle is HALF the measure of the intercepted arc!!
120 x y

10. If all the vertices of a polygon touch the edge of the circle, the polygon is INSCRIBED and the circle is CIRCUMSCRIBED.

11. A circle can be circumscribed around a quadrilateral if and only if its opposite angles are supplementary. B A D C

12. y = 70 z = 95 110 + y =180 z + 85 = 180 Example 8 Find y and z. z 110

13. If a right triangle is inscribed in a circle then the hypotenuse is the diameter of the circle.
180
diameter

14. Example 6
In K, m<GNH = 4x – 14. Find the value of x.
4x – 14 = 90 H K
x = 26 N G

15. x = 11 6x – 5 + 3x – 4 + 90 = 180 or 6x – 5 + 3x – 4 = 90 H K N G
Example 7
In K, m<1 = 6x – 5 and m<2 = 3x – 4. Find the value of x.
6x – 5 + 3x – = 180 or
6x – 5 + 3x – 4 = 90 H 2 K 1 N G
x = 11
