PART II
Types of Angles

• Central angle

- the vertex is on the center.

• Inscribed angle

- the vertex is on the circle.


Types of Arcs
• Major arc
- the measure is more than 180 ° M
Example: MNO

• 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?

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

PROBLEM: If angle BAC is 24°, solve for x


SOLUTION:
A Angle x is a central angle.
Therefore, ∠ x = arc BC.
Centre of
Circle Arc BC is an intercepted arc of
24 ° inscribe angle ABC.
D Since inscribed angle =
½(intercepted arc),
x
C therefore, the intercepted arc is
B
twice the inscribe angle. n = 2x
∠ x = 2 (24)

this is the arc BC ∠ x = 48°


Examine the diagram and solve

SOLVE: If m ∠PON is 105°, what is the measure of (a) arc PN?


(b) m ∠ PMN? SOLUTION:
Angle PON is a central angle.
Therefore, ∠ PON = arc PMN.
Centre of Circle arc PMN = 105°
M a. Arc PN = ?
x N = 360° – 105°
Arc PN = 255°
P
b. ∠ PMN = ?
105°
∠ PMN an inscribe angle and arc PN is its
O intercepted arc.
Since inscribed angle = ½(intercepted arc),
therefore,
∠ PMN = ½ (255°)
∠ PMN = 127.5°
Arc PN
Sage and Scribe Activity
• Students will work in pairs.
• The first partner, the “sage”, will talk about the math
problem, while the other student, the scribe will write it. If
the sage is correct, the scribe praises the sage. Otherwise,
the scribe coaches, then praises. Students swap roles for
the next problem.
• Students will work for 4 minutes at voice level 1
(whisper).
• If you are done with 4 math problems, you are encourage
to try the challenge problem at the bottom of hand out #3.
Have fun! 
Remember…
In a circle, the measure of the central angle is
always equal to the measure of its intercepted arc.

x=n
The measure of inscribed angle is always equal to ½
the measure of its intercepted arc.
x = ½ n or 2x = n
