2Central Angle
Definition
An angle whose vertex lies on the center of the
circle.
NOT A Central Angle (of a circle)

3Central Angle Theorem
- The measure of a center angle is equal to the
measure of the intercepted arc.

6Intercepted Arc
Intercepted Arc An angle intercepts an arc if
and only if each of the following conditions
holds
1. The endpoints of the arc lie on the angle. 2.
All points of the arc, except the endpoints, are
in the interior of the angle. 3. Each side of the
angle contains an endpoint of the arc.
7Inscribed Angle Theorem
The measure of an inscribed angle is equal to ½
the measure of the intercepted arc.

Interior Angle Theorem
The measure of the angle formed by the two

12Exterior Angles
An angle formed by two secants, two tangents, or
a secant and a tangent drawn from a point outside
the circle.

difference of the intercepted arcs.

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