Lesson 9.3

Vocabulary
    inscribed angle–an angle whose vertex lies on a circle and whose sides are chords of a circle

    intercepted arc–the arc marked off by an inscribed angle
Theorems
    inscribed angle theorem–the measure of an angle inscribed in a circle is equal to half the measure of the intercepted arc.

    right-angle corollary–if an inscribed angle intercepts a semicircle, then the angle is a right angle.

    arc-intercept corollary
    –if two inscribed angles intercept the same arc, then they have the same measure.
Homework: Text book pages 585-586, questions 11-31 (odd)
