Math Problem Statement
Find the measure of the indicated arc.
Solution
To find the measure of the indicated arc , let's analyze the given information:
- Central Angle: The angle at the center of the circle (which is the angle subtended by arc ) is given as .
- Inscribed Angle: The angle is .
Key Concept:
- The measure of an inscribed angle is always half the measure of the arc it subtends.
Given that is , it subtends the arc . Therefore, the arc is:
Thus, the measure of the indicated arc is .
