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.

Just one. Sgt. Major Ron Angle. Fact.
Is a central angle of a minor arc always an acute angle?
Sometimes~ Minor arcs have central angles less than 180 degrees because 180 is a semi-circle and above 180 is a major arc. An acute angle is less than 90 degrees, so this is only true sometimes.
What is the measure of the angle formed by two tangents drawn to a circle from an external point if they intersect a major arc whose measure is 230?
-- The major arc = 230 degrees-- The minor arc ... the arc between the tangents ... is (360 - 230) = 130 degrees.-- The line from the vertex of the angle to the center of the circle bisects the arc,so the angle between that line and the radius to each tangent is 65 degrees.-- The radius to each tangent is perpendicular to the tangent. So the radius, the tangent,and the line from the vertex to the center of the circle is a right triangle.-- In the right triangle, there's 90 degrees where the radius meets the tangent, and65 degrees at the center of the circle. That leaves 25 degrees for the angle at thevertex.-- With another 25 degrees for the right triangle formed by the other tangent,the total angle formed by the two tangents is 50 degrees.

The central angle of a minor arc is than inscribed angle of its corresponding major arc?
This cannot be answered. This does not make any sense.
What is defined to be an arc that lies between the sides of an obtuse inscribed angle?
There are three possibilities for the arc that lies between the sides of an angle (at the centre of the circle):semi-circleminor arcmajor arcWith 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).

What are angles that measure less than 90 degrees?
A right angle is an angle whose measure is exactly 90 degrees. Continuing around the circle, next is the obtuse angle. An obtuse angle is an angle whose measure is in between 90 and 180 degrees. The last major kind of angle is the straight angle. A straight angle is an angle that measures exactly 180 degrees. Thus the name - the two rays form a straight line. A negative angle is also possible. This just means that you go clockwise instead of counterclockwise.SOURCE: http://library.thinkquest.org/2647/geometry/angle/measure.htmthat website also has lots of more information on angles!
