What is an angle with a vertex at the center of a circle whose sides are the radii of the circle?

It can be any angle above zero and below 180 degrees.
When it becomes 180 degrees then the two side will be a straight line.
It is also defined as the included angle of a circular sector.

A line segment from the center to any point on the circle is a?
radii
When piece of a circle is determined by two radii that piece is best called a?
I always called it an arc. It is simply a section of the circle. The ends are determined by the two radii you referenced. Each of the radii start at the center of the circle and end at their intersection with the circle. The portion of the circle that lies between the ends of the two radii is an arc.
Is there only two radius's in a circle?
Technically there are an infinite number of radii in a circle. A radius is a line from the center of the circle to a point on its edge, and since there are an infinite number of points on a circle's edge there are an infinite number of radii.
What do you call the angle whose vertex is at the center of the circle and whose sides are the radii of the circle?
It is the subtended angle of the arc
An angle with radii as sides and the center as the vertex?
It is a straight angle.
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 Angles whose vertex is the center of the circle and whose sides contain radii of the circle?
The angle can have any value in the range [0, 360) degrees.
What is the angle called that is formed by two radii with a vertex at the enter of a circle?
It is called the central angle. Hope that helped!
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.
Is a circle a 360 sided figure?
No, because if a circle has a set amount of sides, then it must have a certain amount of angles, reguiring the vertex of the angle to be farther from the center than say,the midpoint of its adjacent angle. This violates a criterion of a circle, because not all (no matter how small the difference is) radii are equidistant from the center.
All radii of a circle are?
All the radii of a circle are of equal length. The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to the out edge. Having equal radii is what defines a circle.
The of a central angle are two radii of the circle?

Is a sector of a circle is a region bounded by a central angle and its corresponding center?
No. A sector is bounded by part two radii and part of the circumference.
