B The circle to the left has

an inscribed angle called


CAB. The endpoints are
on the circle. The
intercepted arc is BDC.
A
In general, the
intercepted arc is always
D twice the measure of the
inscribed angle.

That is, if inscribed


angle CAB = 50
degrees, then intercepted
C arc BCD = 100 degrees.

A center angle involves the center of the circle. The inscribed angle
involves the endpoints of segments on the circle. What are the
formulas related to each kind of angle. I will tell you tomorrow.
