Proving Theorems Related to Chords, Arcs, Central Angles and Inscribed Angles

I. Learning Competency with Codes

Prove theorems related to chords, arcs, central angle, and inscribed angles. (M10GE-IIe-

II. Background Information for Learners

As you get through this, you are expected to prove theorems related to chords, arcs,
central angles , and inscribed angles

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

If ʘE below, ¿ SETB ≅ ≠. Since the two central angle are congruent, the minor arcs
they intercept are also congruent. Hence, ST ≅ NO
