If an intercepted arc measures 124 degrees what is the measure of its inscribed angle?
The answer is half the measure, 62°. Have a nice day!
The measure of a tangent chord angle is twice the measure of the intercepted arc inside the angle?
false
How do you find the degree measure of a central angle in a circle if both the radius and the length of the intercepted arc are known?
-- Circumference of the circle = (pi) x (radius) -- length of the intercepted arc/circumference = degree measure of the central angle/360 degrees
An angle measures 62 degrees what is the measure of its complement?
The difference between 90 degrees and an angle is its complement. 90 - 62 = 28 degrees.
Is it true or false that the measure of a tangent-chord angle is twice the measure of the intercepted arc inside the angle?
It is true that the measure of a tangent-chord angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc inside the angle. When a tangent line intersects a chord of a circle, it creates an angle between the tangent line and the chord, known as the tangent-chord angle. If we draw a segment from the center of the circle to the midpoint of the chord, it will bisect the chord, and the tangent-chord angle will be formed by two smaller angles, one at each end of this segment. Now, the intercepted arc inside the tangent-chord angle is the arc that lies between the endpoints of the chord and is inside the angle. The measure of this arc is half the measure of the central angle that subtends the same arc, which is equal to the measure of the angle formed by the two smaller angles at the ends of the segment that bisects the chord. Therefore, we can conclude that the measure of a tangent-chord angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc inside the angle.
