Today’s Question:
What is the relationship of an
inscribed angle to the measure of its
intercepted arc?
Standard: MM2G3.b
Inscribed Angle:
An angle whose

What do we call this type of angle?
What is the value of x?
The measure of the inscribed angle is HALF the
measure of the inscribed arc!!

If all the vertices of a polygon
touch the edge of the circle, the
polygon is INSCRIBED and the
circle is CIRCUMSCRIBED.
A circle can be circumscribed around
a quadrilateral if and only if its
opposite angles are supplementary.
