Inscribed Angles and Arc Length

A circle has an inscribed angle that intercepts an arc measuring 150 degrees. What is the measure of the inscribed angle?

• 75 degrees

• 150 degrees

• 225 degrees

• 300 degrees

Answer explanation

The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc. Therefore, the inscribed angle measures 75 degrees (150 degrees / 2 = 75 degrees).

An inscribed angle in a circle subtends an arc of 100 degrees. What is the measure of the inscribed angle?

• 50 degrees

• 100 degrees

• 150 degrees

• 200 degrees

Answer explanation

The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the arc it subtends. Therefore, the inscribed angle measures 50 degrees (100 degrees / 2 = 50 degrees).
