Inscribed angles worksheet
An angle with its point on the circle is half the arc it cuts off, which is also half the central angle standing on that same arc. Every angle in a semicircle is a right angle for exactly this reason, and two angles standing on the same arc are equal. In a quadrilateral drawn inside a circle, opposite angles add to 180.

How to do these
An inscribed angle cuts off an arc of . Find the angle
- An inscribed angle is half its arc.
- Half of 116 is 58.
The answer is .
Where students go wrong
Doubling instead of halving. The arc is always the larger number and the inscribed angle the smaller, so an answer bigger than the arc means the rule has been used upside down.
Also called inscribed angle theorem, angles in a circle or central and inscribed angles.
