2 1 3 (Very old) Review • The Exterior Angle Theorem (4.2) • The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two remote, interior angles. m1 + m2 = m3
A R B O mARO + mOAR = mAOB What type of triangle is OAR? 2 Isosceles 3 The base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent. 1 1 2
A R B O mARO + mOAR = mAOB • m1 + m2 = m3 • But m1 = m2 • m1 + m1 = m3 • 2m1 = m3 • m1 = (½)m3 2 1 3 This angle is half the measure of this angle.
Where we are now. Recall: the measure of a central angle is equal to the measure of the intercepted arc. A 2 x (x/2) x 3 1 R B O m1 = (½)m3
Theorem 12.8 If an angle is inscribed in a circle, then its measure is one-half the measure of the intercepted arc. A x (x/2) R B O Inscribed Angle Demo

1 2 4 3 Theorem 12.11 A quadrilateral can be inscribed in a circle if and only if its opposite angles are supplementary. Theorem 10.11 Demo m1 + m3 = 180 & m2 + m4 = 180
Example Solve for x and y. 4x + 2x = 180 6x = 180 x= 30 and 5y + 100 = 180 5y = 80 y = 16 2x 5y 4x 100
Summary • The measure of an inscribed angle is one-half the measure of the intercepted arc. • If two angles intercept the same arc, then the angles are congruent. • The opposite angles of an inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary.
