INSCRIBED ANGLES

Inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex is on the circle

and whose sides are 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 arc of the
angle.

 THEOREMS ON INSCRIBED ANGLE

• 1. The measure of
an inscribed angle is
equal to one-half the
measure of its
intercepted arc.
m∠POT = ½ mPT

• 2. Angles ∠CLR and ∠COR

inscribed in the are inscribed to CR

same arc are

congruent.
m∠CLR = m∠COR

• 3. An angle ∠ARC is
inscribed in a inscribed to CA

semicircle is a
right angle. m∠ARC = ½ mCA
m∠ARC = 1/2(180)
m∠ARC = 90º

• 4. The opposite ∠RDM is opposite to

angles of an ∠MER
inscribed quadri ∠DME is opposite to
∠DRE
– lateral are
supplementary. m∠RDM + m∠MER = 180
m∠DME + m∠DRE = 180

Note: A polygon is inscribed in a circle if

and only if its vertices lie on the circle.
