USING INSCRIBED ANGLES

An inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex is on a circle and whose sides contain chords of the circle. The arc that lies in the interior of an inscribed angle and has endpoints on the angle is called the intercepted arc of the angle.

Using the Measure of an Inscribed Angle

You decide that the middle of the sixth row has the best viewing angle. If someone is sitting there, where else can you sit to have the same viewing angle?

THEATER DESIGN When you go to the movies, you want to be close to the movie screen, but you don’t want to have to move your eyes too much to see the edges of the picture. If E and G are the ends of the screen and you are at F, m EFG is called your viewing angle.

SOLUTION

Using the Measure of an Inscribed Angle

Draw the circle that is determined by the endpoints of the screen and the sixth row center seat. Any other location on the circle will have the same viewing angle.

USING PROPERTIES OF INSCRIBED POLYGONS

If all of the vertices of a polygon lie on a circle, the polygon is inscribed in the circle and the circle is circumscribed about the polygon. The polygon is an inscribed polygon and the circle is a circumscribed circle.

THEOREMS ABOUT INSCRIBED POLYGONSTHEOREM 10.10

If a right triangle is inscribed in a circle, then the hypotenuse is a diameter of the circle. Conversely, if one side of an inscribed triangle is a diameter of the circle, then the triangle is a right triangle and the angle opposite the diameter is the right angle.

B is a right angle if and only if AC is a diameter of the circle.

Using an Inscribed Quadrilateral

SOLUTION

ABCD is inscribed in a circle, so opposite angles are supplementary.

3x + 3y = 180 5x + 2y = 180

Using an Inscribed Quadrilateral

3x + 3y = 180 5x + 2y = 180

To solve this system of linear equations, you can solve the first equation for y to get y = 60 – x. Substitute this expression into the second equation.

y = 60 – 20 = 40 Substitute and solve for y.

5x + 2y = 180 Write second equation.

5x + 2(60 – x) = 180 Substitute 60 – x for y.

5x + 120 – 2x = 180 Distributive property

3x = 60 Subtract 120 from each side.

x = 20 Divide each side by 3.
