Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let me help you analyze the worksheet questions based on the image. Here's a breakdown of the problems and their solutions:
1. Which inscribed angles are congruent?
Solution: Inscribed angles subtended by the same arc in a circle are congruent. Based on the diagram:
- and both subtend arc , so they are congruent.
Thus, the congruent angles are and .
2. If , what is the measure of ?
Solution: In a circle, the inscribed angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc. Thus:
3. If , what is the measure of ?
Solution: The measure of an inscribed angle is half of the arc it intercepts. Since intercepts arc , we have:
4. If and , find:
a. The value of
Since both angles subtend the same arc , they must be equal. Therefore, we set the expressions for the angles equal to each other: Solving for :
b.
Substitute into :
c.
Since (as they subtend the same arc), .
d.
Since both angles subtend arc , we know:
5. If and , find:
a. The value of
The angle is an inscribed angle subtending arc , so: Substitute the expressions: Solving for :
b.
Substitute into :
c.
Substitute into :
d.
Since subtends arc , we can use the inscribed angle rule:

Here are 5 additional questions for deeper understanding:
- Why are the inscribed angles subtending the same arc always congruent?
- How do we determine the measure of an arc from an inscribed angle?
- What is the relationship between the arc and its central angle in a circle?
- Can two inscribed angles subtend different arcs yet still be congruent?
- How does the circle theorem apply when calculating the measure of an intercepted arc?
Tip: Always remember that an inscribed angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc.
