inscribed angles.

The figures below will help you identify and describe chords, arcs, central angles, inscribed angle and
intercepted arc.
A chord is a segment which endpoints are on a given circle.
Example: segment AC or is a chord of ⊙B.
Arc is a part of a circumference of a circle. It is named by their endpoints and can be
read clockwise or counter-clockwise. The symbol for arc is ͡ .
Example: The curve from point D to point A is an arc. Which can be read as “arc DA
or ”. Other example of arcs in the right figure are
1
An arc with a measure equal to one-half ( ) of the circumference of a circle is called
2
a semicircle. Its measure is 180°. It is named using two or three endpoints of the
arc. Examples:
Minor arc is an arc of a circle that measures less than a semicircle or 180°. It is
named using two endpoints of the arc or three endpoints as long as it measures less
than 180°. Examples:
Major arc is an arc of a circle that measures greater than the semicircle. Measures
greater than 180 but less than 360. To indicate the major arc, we must include the
point between the endpoints of the arc. Example
Intercepted arc is the arc that lies in the interior of an angle and has endpoints on
the angle.
Example: is the intercepted arc of angle
A central angle is an angle whose vertex is at the center of the circle. The sides of
the angle contain two radii of the circle.
Example: angle ABC or is the central angle of ⊙B.
Inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex is on the circle and whose sides contain
chords of the circle.
Example: is the inscribed angle of arc CB as shown in the figure.
