Arcs and Central Angles
Students learn the definition of a central angle, and that the measure of a central angle is equal to the measure of its intercepted arc.
This video gives an introduction into central angles, circle arcs, and angle measurement. It explains the difference between a major arc and a minor arc. A central angle always form a minor arc which is less than 180 degrees in angle measure. The major arc is greater than 180 degrees. A semicircle has an intercepted arc of exactly 180 degrees. It contains plenty of examples and practice problems.
