Does a central angle and its intercepted arc have the same measure?
yes or true
What measure of a intercepted arc?
Examples to show how to use the property that the measure of a central angle is equal to the measure of its intercepted arc to find the missing measures of arcs and angles in given figures.
What is the formula of a central angle of a circle?
Central angle of a circle is the same as the measure of the intercepted arc. davids1: more importantly the formulae for a central angle is π=pi, R=radius Central Angle= Arc Length x 180 / π x R
What is the length of the arc intercepted on a circle of radius 14 cm by the arms of a central angle of 45?
Length of arc = angle (in radians)*radius = (pi/4)*14 = 10.996 cm
A central angle of a circle of radius 30 cm intercepts an arc of 6 cm Express the central angle in radians and in degrees?
A central angle is measured by its intercepted arc. Let's denote the length of the intercepted arc with s, and the length of the radius r. So, s = 6 cm and r = 30 cm. When a central angle intercepts an arc whose length measure equals the length measure of the radius of the circle, this central angle has a measure 1 radian. To find the angle in our problem we use the following relationship: measure of an angle in radians = (length of the intercepted arc)/(length of the radius) measure of our angle = s/r = 6/30 = 1/5 radians. Now, we need to convert this measure angle in radians to degrees. Since pi radians = 180 degrees, then 1 radians = 180/pi degrees, so: 1/5 radians = (1/5)(180/pi) degrees = 36/pi degrees, or approximate to 11.5 degrees.

Intercepted arc I believe
If the radius of a circle is doubled how is the length of the arc intercepted by a fixed central angle changed?
If the radius of a circle is tripled, how is the length of the arc intercepted by a fixed central angle changed?
Does a central angle and its intercepted arc have the same measure?
yes or true
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.
What is the measure of the intercepted arc If a central angle has a measure of 45 degrees?

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
