Question

State if each angle is an inscribed angle. If it is, name the angles and the intercepted arc.

Answer 1

Part 1) The inscribed angle is the angle ∠TRS and the intercept arc is the arc LST

Part 2) The inscribed angle is the angle ∠YWX and the intercept arc is the minor arc XY

Part 3) The inscribed angle is the angle ∠YXZ and the intercept arc is the arc YBZ

Part 4) The figure does not show an inscribed angle

Explanation:

Part 1) The figure shown a inscribed angle

The inscribed angle is the angle ∠TRS

The intercept arc is the arc LST

Remember that

The inscribed angle measures half that of the arc comprising

so

∠TRS=(1/2)[arc LST]

Part 2) The figure shown a inscribed angle

The inscribed angle is the angle ∠YWX

The intercept arc is the minor arc XY

Remember that

The inscribed angle measures half that of the arc comprising

so

∠YWX=(1/2)[minor arc XY]

Part 3) The figure shown a inscribed angle

The inscribed angle is the angle ∠YXZ

The intercept arc is the arc YBZ

Remember that

The inscribed angle measures half that of the arc comprising

so

∠YXZ=(1/2)[arc YBZ]

Part 4) The figure does not show an inscribed angle

The figure shown a interior angle ∠BAC
