Geometry unit 7 SPECIAL ANGLES TYPE 1

How many groups of special angles are related to circles

3

those with measure equal to half the intercepted what

arc

those with measure equal to half the what of the intercepted arcs

sum

those with measure equal to half the what of the intercepted arcs

difference

What has its vertex at the center of the circle

central angle

an angle with sides containing the endpoints of an arc and with a vertex that is a point of the arc other than an endpoint of the arc

Inscribed angle

an angle intercepts an arc if the endpoints of the arc lie on the sides of the angle and all points of the arc except the endpoints lie in the interior of the angle

Intercepted arc

The measure of an inscribed angle is equal to half the measure of its intercepted arc.

Theorem 7-10

An angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle.

Corollary 1

The opposite angles of an inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary.

Corollary 2

If two angles intercept the same or equal arcs, the angles are equal.

Corollary 3

a ray that lies on a secant line and contains both points of intersection with the circle

Secant ray

a ray that lies on a tangent line and contains the point of tangency.

Tangent ray

The measure of an angle formed by a secant ray and a tangent ray drawn from a point on a circle is equal to half the measure of its intercepted arc.
