Lesson 6.3 Inscribed Angles and their Intercepted Arcs

Goal 1 Using Inscribed Angles

Goal 2 Using Properties of Inscribed Angles.

Using Inscribed Angles

An INSCRIBED ANGLE is an angle whose vertex is on the circle and whose sides each contain chords of a circle.

Using Inscribed Angles

If an angle is inscribed in a circle, then the measure of the angle equals one-half the measure of its intercepted arc. 

m = m arc OR 2 m = m arc

Find the m and mPAQ .PQ

mPAQ = m PBQmPAQ = 63˚

PQ =2 * m PBQ

= 2 * 63 = 126˚

Using Properties of Inscribed Angles

If a quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle, then its opposite angles are supplementary.

Using Properties of Inscribed Angles

A triangle inscribed in a circle is a right triangle if and only if one of its

sides is a diameter.         

Angles inscribed in a Semi-circle Conjecture

A has its vertex on the circle, and it intercepts half of the circle so thatmA = 90.
