INSCRIBED ANGLES IN THE SAME ARC THEOREM.

Two or more angles A

inscribed in the same
arc or in congruent arcs
are congruent. O
B
D

Both and are inscribed

in , then . C
EXAMPLE Find:
a.
Given circle P
The measure of the central ∠QPR is
with m∠QPR=100°
S equal to its intercepted . Thus,
T mQR=m∠QPR=100°.
b. m∠QSR
The inscribed ∠QSR intercepts
P
100° arc QR. So,
m∠QSR=mQR=(100°)= 50°
Q R
EXAMPLE
Given circle P c. m∠QTR
with m∠QPR=100°
S Since ∠QTR intercepts the
T same arc as ∠QSR and both are
inscribed angles,
m∠QTR=m∠QSR= 50°
P
100°

Q R
EXAMPLE Find:
a. m
B C The measure of the central ∠AED is
equal to its intercepted . Thus,
m=m∠AED= 164°.
E b.
164°
The inscribed ∠ABD intercepts .
A D
So, m∠ABD=m=(164°)= 82°
EXAMPLE
B C c.
Since ∠ACD intercepts the
same arc as ∠ABD and both are
inscribed angles,
E
164° m∠ACD=m∠ABD= 82°
