Types of Angles
• Central angle
• Inscribed angle
• Minor arc
- the measure is less than 180 ° P
Example: MO
• Semicircle O
- the measure is equal to 180
° N
Example: MON or MN
Solving Unknown Arcs and Angles
• On the next slides…
• you will use a white board (or a filler with
printing paper), and a marker to solve and
answer the given problems.
• you will be given 30 seconds to solve each of
the math problems.
• at the end of each problem , you will raise your
white board with your answer on it. Make sure
you box your answer.
Have fun!
Measure of Arcs & Angles
In a circle, the measure of the central angle is
always equal to the measure of its intercepted arc.
x=n
m ∠ ABC = m AC n°
C
• If ∠ ABC is 80°, what A
is the measure of arc x°
AC?
B°
m AC = 80°
Measure of Arcs & Angles
EXAMPLE: In the diagram below, if the m ∠ xyz is 68°, find
the measure of a.) minor arc and b.) major arc.
SOLUTION:
a. measure of minor arc
m ∠xyz = m xz (since ∠xyz is a central angle)
m xz = 68° x
b. measure of major arc
major arc = 360° – m xz (minor arc)
68°
=360° – 68°
y
68°
m xz (major arc) = 292°
292° z
Measure of Arcs & Angles
The measure of inscribed angle is always equal to
½ the measure of its intercepted arc.
x = ½ n or 2x = n
m ∠ ABC = ½ (m AC) C

• If ∠ ABC is 35°,
what is the measure of A
arc AC?
m AC = 70° x°
B
Measure of Arcs & Angles
EXAMPLE: If the measure of the minor arc below is 68°,
find the measure of the inscribe angle, ∠ ABC.
SOLUTION:
Inscribed angle = ½ (intercepted arc)
∠ ABC = ½ (68°)
∠ ABC= 34° A
34° B
68° C
Examine the diagram and solve

The measure of inscribed angle is always equal to ½
the measure of its intercepted arc.
