Question
explore the properties of inscribed angles by following these steps.
angle measures change.
when \\(\overset{\frown}{ac}\\) changes,
\\(m\angle abc\\) and \\(m\angle adc\\)
change and are
always equal to each other.
- move points d and b and observe
how the angle measures change.
what happens to the angle
measures?
they change.
they do not change.
check
\\(m\overset{\frown}{ac} = 104^\circ\\)
\\(m\angle abc = 52^\circ\\)
\\(m\angle adc = 52^\circ\\)
Step1: Recall Inscribed Angle Theorem
The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc. For \(\angle ABC\) and \(\angle ADC\), both intercept arc \(\overset{\frown}{AC}\). The measure of \(\overset{\frown}{AC}\) is \(104^\circ\), so the measure of each inscribed angle is \(\frac{1}{2} \times 104^\circ = 52^\circ\).
Step2: Analyze Effect of Moving D and B
When points D and B are moved (while still on the circle), the intercepted arc \(\overset{\frown}{AC}\) does not change. Since the measure of an inscribed angle depends only on the measure of its intercepted arc, the measures of \(\angle ABC\) and \(\angle ADC\) will not change.
