INSCRIBED
ANGLES OF
CIRCLE
Inscribed Angle
- an angle whose vertex lies on the circle and
the sides contain chords of the circle

∠ABC is an inscribed angle AC ∠EFG is an inscribed angle EG ∠IJK is an inscribed angle IK is


is its intercepted arc. is its intercepted arc. its intercepted arc.
The center of the circle The center of the circle The center of the circle
is in the interior of the angle is on the exterior of the is on the one side of the
angle angle.
1. If an angle is inscribed in a circle, then the measure
of the angle equals one-half the measure of its
intercepted arc.

1
mABC = mAC
2
mAC = 2(mABC )
∠ABC is an inscribed angle
EG is its intercepted arc
Example:

If mDF = 84°, find m∠DEF

1 mDF = 2(mDEF )
mDEF = mDF
2
1 mDF = 2(42)
mDEF = (84)
2 mDF = 84
mDEF = 42
2. If two inscribed angles of a circle (or congruent
circles) intercept congruent arcs or the same arcs,
then the angles are congruent.

Since the two inscribed angles ∠BAE ∠FGH intercepts FH and ∠IJK intercepts IK
and ∠BDE intercept the same arc If FH ≅ IK , then ∠ FGH ≅ ∠ IJK
BE is its intercepted arc

∠ BAE ≅ ∠ BDE
Example:

If mBE = 70°, find the measures If mFH and mIK = 60°, find the
of ∠ BAE and ∠ BDE. measures of ∠ FGH ≅ ∠ IJK.
1 mFH = mIK = 60°
mBAE = mBE
2 1
1 mFGH = mFH
mBAE = (70) 2
2
1
mBAE = 35 mFGH = (60)
2 FGH  IJK
BAE  BDE mFGH = 30 mIJK = 30
mBDE = 35
3. If an inscribed angle of a circle intercepts a
semicircle, then the angle is a right angle.
Example:
Find m∠XYZ in the given figure below.

∠ABC is an inscribed angle


AC is its intercepted arc
∠XYZ is an inscribed angle which
Since the intercepted arc AC is a
intercepts XZ which is a semicircle.
semicircle, then ∠ABC measures Hence, ∠XYZ is a right angle.
90° which is a right angle
m∠XYZ = 90°
3. If a quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle, then its
opposite angles are supplementary.
Quadrilateral ABCD is inscribed in Circle E.
Pair of opposite angles

BAC , BDC
ABD, ACD

mBAC + mBDC = 180


mABD + mACD = 180
Example:
Quadrilateral MATH is inscribed in ◉ X, if
m∠ AMT = 73° and m ∠ MTH = 95 °, find
m ∠ AHT and m ∠ MAH.
AMT , AHT MTH , MAH
mAMT = 73  mMTH = 95 
mAMT + mAHT = 180 mMTH + mMAH = 180
73 + mAHT = 180 95 + mMAH = 180
73 + mAHT = 180 mMAH = 180 − 95
mAHT = 180 − 73 mMAH = 180 − 95
mAHT = 107  mMAH = 85 
