Answer:

20°

Explanation:

Given:

Angle of Intercepted arc = 40°

If an angle is inscribed in a circle, the measure of the inscribed angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc.

Therefore, since the angle of Intercepted arc is 40°, the measure of inscribed angle will be:


(1)/(2) * 40

= 20
