What are the differences between an inscribed angle and a central angle?
1. See how the position of their VERTICES B and O is not the same? While B is on the circle, O is at the center. 2. The measure of a central angle (or the intercepted arc) = TWICE its inscribed angle's measure.
When two nonparallel lines intersect outside a circle, the measure of the angle formed is...
1/2 the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

180° - the central angle that intercepts the arc.
What is the name of an angle whose vertex is on a circle and whose sides are determined by two chords?
An inscribed angle.
The area of circle corresponds to a complete rotation of 360°. Yet, the area of a sector then corresponds to a central angle, which is fraction of a complete rotation:
Area of a sector = (ɵ°/360°)×πr², where ɵ is the central angle.
When two chords intersect inside a circle, the measure of the vertical angles formed is the average of their corresponding intercepted arcs:
Both angles x and E = 120° because (70°+170°)÷2 = 120°
Because about 3.14 × diameters are needed, one after the other, to complete one circle around, the formula for Circumference is then...
C= dπ or C=2πr
To convert radians to degrees
Degrees = radians ×180°/π
The length of two secant segments that meet outside a circle...
External segment × (total) = external segment × (total)
An arc that lies between two lines, rays, or segments is called an...
Intercepted arc. (to subtend = to connect, to hold)
When the length (S) of an intercepted arc is exactly the same as the length of the radius of the circle, the measure of such a central angle is one...
Radian in 1 radian, the arc length equals the radius. S = r
To convert degrees to radians
Radians = given degrees × π/180°
The length of an arc is a segment of the circumference: The total perimeter of a circle (the circumference) corresponds to one complete rotation, 360°. Similarly, the length of a segment of the circumference, an intercepted arc, will correspond to a smaller rotation ɵ°, (central angle°). Therefore the length of an arc, S, is going to be a fraction of the entire circumference:
S = (ɵ°/360°) × C where ɵ = central angle° and C = dπ
The length of an arc when the central angle, ɵ, is given in radians:
S = ɵ∙r
If 2 chords intersect in the interior of a circle, then the product of the lengths of the segments of one chord is equal to the product of the lengths of the segments of the other chord.
