There are three possibilities for the arc that lies between the sides of an angle (at the centre of the circle):
- semi-circle
- minor arc
- major arc
With any two points of the circumference of a circle they will make an angle at the centre of the circle.
If the angle is 180o, then the two points lie on either end of a diameter and both arcs are the same length and are a semi-circle.
Otherwise, the minor arc is the shorter of the two arcs, the major one is the longer one:
- The minor arc is the side of the angle that is smaller, ie the angle is acute (< 90o), a right angle (= 90o) or obtuse (> 90o & < 180o).
- The major arc is the side of the angle that is bigger, ie the angle is reflex (> 180o).

Is every inscribed angle that intercepts a semicircle is a right angle or an acute angle or a obtuse angle?
a right angle
What angle is 98 degrees?
angle between 90 and 180 degrees is A obtuse angle
What is the differences between a reflex angle and a obtuse angle?
A obtuse angle is one between 90o and 180o. An reflex angle is one between 180o and 360o.
If an angle is obtuse then it has a measure of 120 degrees?
When an angle has a measure of 120 degrees, it is an obtuse angle. When an angle is an obtuse angle its measure is between 90 and 180 degrees. That is: 90 degrees < obtuse angle < 180 degrees.
Is obtuse angle more than 180 degrees?
No. An obtuse angle is between 90 degrees to 180 degrees/ No. An obtuse angle is between 90 degrees to 180 degrees/
What is defined as an arc that lies between the sides of an obtuse inscribed angle?
Since there is nothing following, none of them!
Which of the following is defined to be an arc that lies between the side of an obtuse inscribed angle?
Major arc- Answe from Apex
Can an inscribed angle be an obtuse angle?
yes it can : )
Is an inscribed angle which intercepts a major arc an obtuse angle?
Well, not always. An obtuse angle is one that is greater than 90 degrees. Any inscribed angle that intercepts a major arc can be any measurement in which it intercepts.
Is every inscribed angle that intercepts a semicircle is a right angle or an acute angle or a obtuse angle?
a right angle
Is a strait angle obtuse?
An angle, x, is defined as obtuse iff 90°<x<180° Therefore a 'straight' angle (180°) is not obtuse.
What angle is 98 degrees?
angle between 90 and 180 degrees is A obtuse angle
Can a obtuse angle be 218?
No. An obtuse angle is defined as being greater than 90 degrees, but less that 180 degrees.
What is something that is an obtuse angle?
An angle that is between 90 and 180 degrees is called an obtuse angle.
What is an angle called that is between 90 and 180 degrees?
is an obtuse angle.
What is the differences between a reflex angle and a obtuse angle?
A obtuse angle is one between 90o and 180o. An reflex angle is one between 180o and 360o.
What is the name of the arc that lies betwen the sides of an obtuse inscribed angle?
It can have any name that you care to give it.
