THEOREMS ON
INSCRIBED ANGLES,
ARCS, AND CHORDS
I can define a chord of a circle.
A C
Chord is a straight
segment with its
endpoints on a circle.
B
D
LEARNING
I can prove theorems about chords of a circle.
TARGET
Theorems on Inscribed Angles:
• The measure of an inscribed angle is one-half the measure of the central angle
intercepting the same arc.
• The measure of an inscribed angle is one-half the measure of its intercepted arc.
• Inscribed angles intercepting the same arc are congruent.
• An angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle.
• Opposite angles of an inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary.
Theorems on Arcs and Chords:
• Congruent chords in a circle determine congruent central angles.
• Congruent chords in a circle determine congruent arcs.
• The perpendicular drawn from the center of the circle to a chord bisects the chord.
Converse: The segment drawn from the center of the circle to the midpoint of a chord
is perpendicular to the chord.
• The perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the center of the circle.
• Congruent chords are equidistant from the center of the circle.
Converse: Chords that are equidistant from the center are congruent.
Theorem:
• Congruent chords in a circle determine congruent central angles.
• Congruent chords in a circle determine congruent arcs.
