MELC 16
Derives inductively the relations
among chords, arcs, central angles,
and inscribed angles.
 Objectives:
- identify the intercepted arc of
central and inscribed angles
- derive inductively the relationship
between the intercepted arc and
central angle
- derive inductively the relationship
between the intercepted arc and
inscribed angle

Arcs and Angles
Sum of Central Angles
The sum of the measures of the
central angles of a circle with no
common interior points is 360 degrees.

m∠1 + m∠2 +m∠3+ m∠4 = 360

Arc Addition Postulate

The measure of an arc formed by

two adjacent arcs is the sum of the
measures of the two arcs.

Adjacent arcs are arcs with exactly

one point in common.

The measure of a central angle of a
circle is equal to the measure of its
intercepted arc.
Degree Measure of an Arc

1. The degree measure of a minor arc is

the measure of the central angle
which intercepts the arc.
2. The degree measure of a major arc is
equal to 360 minus the measure of
the minor arc with the same
endpoints.
3. The degree measure of the
semicircle is 180.

4. If a quadrilateral is inscribed in a
circle, then its opposite angles are
supplementary.

1. In a circle or in congruent circles, two
minor arcs are congruent if and only if
their corresponding central angles are
congruent.
