Answer:

They have the same measure (degrees)

Explanation:

A central angle and its intercepted arc have the same measure.

A central angle has its vertex at the center. Think of a clock. You can make an angle with the hands of a clock. The angle and the piece of the circle that the angle cuts off (the intercepted arc) are the same! Like 20° and 20° or

180° and 180° or

67° and 67°
