What is the relationship between an inscribed angle and the central angle that subtends the same arc in a circle?

Flashcard de estudo do deck Digital SAT Math: Algebra, Advanced Math & Geometry.

Resposta

The inscribed angle measures exactly half of the central angle (and half of the intercepted arc measure): $\theta_{\text{inscribed}} = \frac{1}{2} \theta_{\text{central}}$.

Explicação

Consequently, any inscribed angle that intercepts a diameter (a semicircle of $180^\circ$) is a right angle ($90^\circ$, Thales's Theorem).
