What is the relationship between a central angle and its intercepted arc?
The central angle of a circle is formed by two radii that extend from the center of the circle to its circumference. The intercepted arc is the part of the circle's circumference that lies between the two points where the radii intersect the circle. The measure of the central angle is equal to the measure of the intercepted arc in degrees. Thus, if the central angle measures θ degrees, the intercepted arc also measures θ degrees.
Segment DC is a diameter of circle A in the figure below. If angle DAB measures 34 degrees what is the measure of arc BC?
In a circle, the measure of an angle formed by a chord and a tangent at a point on the circle is half the measure of the intercepted arc. Since segment DC is a diameter, angle DAB is an inscribed angle that intercepts arc DB. Therefore, the measure of arc DB is twice the measure of angle DAB, which is 68 degrees. Since arc BC is the remainder of the circle, arc BC measures 360 degrees - 68 degrees = 292 degrees.
Are central angles equal to the measure of their intercepted arcs?
Yes as for example in the case of a sector of a circle.
How do I measure different parts of a circle?
Circumference of a circle = 2*pi*radius or diameter*pi Area of a circle = pi*radius squared Radius of a circle = diameter/2 Degrees around a circle = 360 degrees
What is the area of a sector if the central angle is 45 degrees?
An eighth of the area of the circle which, since neither its radius, diameter nor circumference are known, is an unknown quantity.
What is the relationship between a central angle and its intercepted arc?
The central angle of a circle is formed by two radii that extend from the center of the circle to its circumference. The intercepted arc is the part of the circle's circumference that lies between the two points where the radii intersect the circle. The measure of the central angle is equal to the measure of the intercepted arc in degrees. Thus, if the central angle measures θ degrees, the intercepted arc also measures θ 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
If an angle that has a measure of 51.4 degrees is inscribed in a circle what is the measure of its intercepted?
102.8 degrees I think but it depends. If the angle is a central angle it is 51.4 degrees but other than that I think it would be 102.8 degrees.

What is a central angle and what is the relationship of the central angle and the intercepted arc?
In a circle, a central angle is formed by two radii. By definition, the measure of the intercepted arc is equal to the central angle.
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 arc of a circle intercepted by a central angle that measures 64 degrees?
64°/360° = 8/45 of the circle = 0.1777 (rounded, repeating)The arc's length is 8/45 of the circle's total circumference.
How many degrees are in a circle with a diameter of 10 units?
A circle has 360 degrees, whatever its diameter.
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?
Segment DC is a diameter of circle A in the figure below. If angle DAB measures 34 degrees what is the measure of arc BC?
In a circle, the measure of an angle formed by a chord and a tangent at a point on the circle is half the measure of the intercepted arc. Since segment DC is a diameter, angle DAB is an inscribed angle that intercepts arc DB. Therefore, the measure of arc DB is twice the measure of angle DAB, which is 68 degrees. Since arc BC is the remainder of the circle, arc BC measures 360 degrees - 68 degrees = 292 degrees.
Find the length of the arc on a circle of radius r equals 16 inches intercepted by a central angle 0 theta equals 60 degrees?
The length of an arc on a circle of radius 16, with an arc angle of 60 degrees is about 16.8.The circumference of the circle is 2 pi r, or about 100.5. 60 degrees of a circle is one sixth of the circle, so the arc is one sixth of 100.5, or 16.8.
Are central angles equal to the measure of their intercepted arcs?
Yes as for example in the case of a sector of a circle.
