Keeping this in consideration, what is Centre angle theorem?
Theorem: Central Angle Theorem The Central Angle Theorem states that the central angle from two chosen points A and B on the circle is always twice the inscribed angle from those two points. The inscribed angle can be defined by any point along the outer arc AB and the two points A and B.
Accordingly, how do you find a central angle?
Find the Central Angle from the Arc Length and Radius You can also use the radius of the circle and the arc length to find the central angle. Call the measure of the central angle θ. Then: θ = s ÷ r, where s is the arc length and r is the radius.
By the inscribed angle theorem, the measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc. The measure of the central angle ∠POR of the intercepted arc ?PR is 90°. Therefore, m∠PQR=12m∠POR =12(90°) =45°.
