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.
It's a STRAIGHT angle
the measure of the inscribed angle is______ its corresponding central 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.
The circumference of the large semicircle is pi-r radius of the smaller semi circles are r1 r2 r3 r4... thus their circumference is pi-r1 pi-r2 so on.. pi-r = pi(r1+r2+r3..)
It is a right angle.
Right Angle?

All triangles inscribed in a semicircle with one side of the triangle being the diameter of the semicircle are right triangles.

Yes. It follows from one of the circle theorems which states that the angle subtended in a semicircle is a right angle.
A right angle triangle will fit into a semicircle.
An inscribed angle is an angle with its vertex on a circle and with sides that contain chords of the circle.
It's a STRAIGHT angle
The center of an inscribed angle is either a vertex or an endpoint.
