Inscribed Angles
and Intercepted
Arcs
Book page: 151 – 154
Introduction
An inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex is on a
circle and whose sides contain chords of the circle. The
arc that lies in the interior of an inscribed angle and has
endpoints on the angle is called the intercepted arcs of
the angle.

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