2. Formula & Notation
| c | Central angle |
| c/2 | Inscribed angle |
3. Properties & Laws
- Half the central angle;
- Angles over the same arc equal;
- Over a diameter it is 90°;
- Cyclic quadrilateral opposite angles supplementary.
4. Steps
- Enter central angle c;
- Click "Find";
- Or click "Load Example".
5. Worked Examples
Example: central 80°.
Solution: inscribed = 40°.
6. Common Pitfalls
Use the same arc;
Diameter gives 90°;
Vertex must be on the circle.
