Definition
His name was inscribed on the award.
The square is inscribed in the circle.
B
An inscribed angle is an
angle with its vertex on a
circle and sides that
contain chords of the circle.

ALGEBRA Find mR.
R  S
R and S both intercept
.
mR  mS
Definition of congruent angles
12x – 13 = 9x + 2
Substitution
x =5
Simplify.
Answer: So, mR = 12(5) – 13 or 47.

An inscribed angle that
intercepts a semicircle is
a right angle.
p. 725
ALGEBRA Find mB.
ΔABC is a right triangle because
C inscribes a semicircle.
mA + mB + mC = 180
(x + 4) + (8x – 4) + 90 = 180
9x + 90 = 180
9x = 90
Angle Sum Theorem
Substitution
Simplify.
Subtract 90 from each
side.
x = 10
Divide each side by 9.
Answer: So, mB = 8(10) – 4 or 76.
