Explain the difference between a central angle and an inscribed angle?
A central angle has its vertex at the center of a circle, and two radii form the Arms. Central angle AOC is described as subtended by the chords AC and by the arc AC. An inscribed angle has its vertex on the circle, and two chords form the arms. Inscribed angle ABC is also described as subtended by the chord AC and by the arc AC.
Application of relation between arc of length and central angle?
The relation between the arc of length and the central angle is that the arc of length divided by one of the sides is the central angle in radians. If the arc is a full circle, then the central angle is 2pi radians or 360 degrees.
How do inscribed angles help you understand angles that occur outside the circle?
The inscribed angle forms the apex of the angle. It is a point. To circumscribe the point is 360 degrees. So the inscribed angle and the reflex (outscribed) angle sum to a total of 360 degrees.
What is the relation between the arc length and pi?
arc length/2pi*r=measure of central angle/360
The central angle of a minor arc is than inscribed angle of its corresponding major arc?
This cannot be answered. This does not make any sense.
What is the relation between the arc length and angle for a sector of a circle?
A sector is the area enclosed by two radii of a circle and their intercepted arc, and the angle that is formed by these radii, is called a central angle. A central angle is measured by its intercepted arc. It has the same number of degrees as the arc it intercepts. For example, a central angle which is a right angle intercepts a 90 degrees arc; a 30 degrees central angle intercepts a 30 degrees arc, and a central angle which is a straight angle intercepts a semicircle of 180 degrees. Whereas, an inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex is on the circle and whose sides are chords. An inscribed angle is also measured by its intercepted arc. But, it has one half of the number of degrees of the arc it intercepts. For example, an inscribed angle which is a right angle intercepts a 180 degrees arc. So, we can say that an angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle; a 30 degrees inscribed angle intercepts a 60 degrees arc. In the same or congruent circles, congruent inscribed angles have congruent intercepted arcs.

How do you find the measure of the central angle?
the measure of the inscribed angle is______ its corresponding central angle
An angle whose vertex is the center of a circle is a?
Inscribed angle
How does the central angle compare to the inscribed angle if it is on the same side of a common chord?
The central angle is double the measure.
How do inscribed angles help you understand angles that occur outside the circle?
The inscribed angle forms the apex of the angle. It is a point. To circumscribe the point is 360 degrees. So the inscribed angle and the reflex (outscribed) angle sum to a total of 360 degrees.

The central angle of a minor arc is than inscribed angle of its corresponding major arc?
This cannot be answered. This does not make any sense.
What is a inscribed angle?
An inscribed angle is an angle with its vertex on a circle and with sides that contain chords of the circle.
Will an inscribed angle always have its vertex on the circle?
Yes all inscribed angles in a circle have their vertex on the circumference of the circle. Central angles have their vertex at the center of the circle.
What is the center of an inscribed angle called?
The center of an inscribed angle is either a vertex or an endpoint.
