Inscribed Angles

Question 7 • *CR CCSS Math 2 S2 [M2960OX]

Explain how you can use the inscribed angle theorem to justify its second corollary, that an angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle.

Answer

Answer:

A circle measures 360 degrees, so a semicircle measures 180 degrees. By using the inscribed angle theorem, the measure of the inscribed angle would be half of 180 degrees, or 90 degrees, which is a right angle.
