A line segment that joins any two points on the circle and passes through its
center is called a diameter.
The length of the diameter of a circle is twice the length of its radius.

Inscribed angle
- is an angle whose vertex is one of
the points on the circle.
Measure of Arcs &
Angles
In a circle, the measure of the central angle is
always equal to the measure of its intercepted
arc.

If ∠ABC is 80°, what is the x°
measure of ?
= 80° B
EXAMPLE: In the diagram below, if the m ∠XYZ is
68°, find the measure of a.) minor arc and b.)
SOLUTION: major arc.
x
a. measure of minor arc
m ∠XYZ = m (since ∠XYZ is a central 68°
angle)
= 68°
n° C x = ½ n or 2x = n
m ∠ABC = ½ (m

B
EXAMPLE: If the measure of the minor arc is 68°,
find the measure of the inscribe angle, ∠ABC.
SOLUTION:
Inscribed angle = ½ (intercepted arc)
A ∠ABC = ½ (68°)
∠ ABC=
34° B 34°
