What is a triangle in a circle that is formed by two chords and a diameter?
If a triangle is drawn in a circle with a diameter as the base of the triangle, then the angle opposite that diameter is a right angle. This is an extension of the theorem that the angle which an arc of a circle subtends at the centre of a circle is twice the angle which the arc subtends at the circumference. In the case of a diameter, then the angle subtended at the centre is 180° and thus the angle at the circumference is 90°.
Why is an inscribed angle that intercepts a semi-circle a right angle?
It is the consequence of one of the circle theorems and in some books, it is considered a theorem itself. The underlying proposition is that the angle subtended at the circumference of the circle by any arc of a circle is half the angle subtended at the centre. In the case of a semicircle, the arc is the half circle and the angle at the centre is the one that the diameter makes at the centre of the circle ie 180 degrees. So the angle at the circumference is half that ie 90 degrees.
What is an angle formed by two radii of a circle called?
central angle central angle
How do you find the arc length of a minor arc when c equals 18.84?
I'm assuming that "c" is short for "circumference". The length of an arc is (circumference)*(360/angle). So the length of an arc in a circle with circumference length of 18.84 is 6782.4/angle, where the angle is measured in degrees.
What is the measure of an arc that is intercepted by an inscribed angle of 31 degrees?
That will depend on the circumference of the circle which has not been given
What is an arc formed by the endpoints of a inscribed angle?
They are two sections of the circumference of the circle.
What is an angle whose vertex is at the center of a circle?
A central angle.The section of the circle formed by that angle and the part of the circle (the part being the circumference) between the radii is called a sector.
What is a triangle in a circle that is formed by two chords and a diameter?
If a triangle is drawn in a circle with a diameter as the base of the triangle, then the angle opposite that diameter is a right angle. This is an extension of the theorem that the angle which an arc of a circle subtends at the centre of a circle is twice the angle which the arc subtends at the circumference. In the case of a diameter, then the angle subtended at the centre is 180° and thus the angle at the circumference is 90°.
How do you find degrees on a circumfince?
I presume you mean the circumference of a circle. If P and Q are two points on the circumference of a circle with center O, the number of degrees in the arc PQ is defined as the number of degrees in the angle POQ.
What is an arc angle?
Part of the circumference of a circle
An angle whose vertex is on the circumference of a circle and whose sides include chords of the circle is what kind of angle?
An inscribed angle.
An angle whose vertex is on the circumference of a circle and whose sides include chords of the circle?
it is arc angle
How do you find the circumference of a circle that has an arc length and angle degree?
The total circumference is (arc length) times (360) divided by (the angle degrees)
What is an angle whose vertex whose vetex is the center of a circle?
It will be the same angle subtended by its circumference.
What is the angle measurements of a circle?
The angles around the circumference of a circle add up to 360 degrees.
Why is an inscribed angle that intercepts a semi-circle a right angle?
It is the consequence of one of the circle theorems and in some books, it is considered a theorem itself. The underlying proposition is that the angle subtended at the circumference of the circle by any arc of a circle is half the angle subtended at the centre. In the case of a semicircle, the arc is the half circle and the angle at the centre is the one that the diameter makes at the centre of the circle ie 180 degrees. So the angle at the circumference is half that ie 90 degrees.
What is a measure of an angle as a fractional part of a circle?
An arc is a fraction of its circumference
