Inscribed Angle Theorem

• I can use the relationship between central and inscribed angles to calculate angle measures and prove geometric theorems.

• I know that an inscribed angle is half the measure of the central angle that defines the same arc.

An inscribed angle is an angle with its vertex on the circle and whose sides are chords

​inscribed angle

The minor arc of a circle that lies between two lines that intersect it.

​Intercepted arc

The Inscribed Angle Theorem states that the measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc.

Inscribed angles that intercept the same arc are congruent. This is called the Congruent Inscribed Angles Theorem and is shown below.
