triangle intercepts a diameter if the angle is a right
angle. Therefore, the hypotenuse is a diameter and
has a length of 2r. Use trigonometry to find the
length of the equal legs.

right triangles legs.
SOLUTION:
Sample answer: A trianglewillhave
two inscribed angles of 45 and one of 90. The
hypotenuse is across from the 90, or right angle.
According to theorem 10.8, an inscribed angle of a
triangle intercepts a diameter if the angle is a right
angle. Therefore, the hypotenuse is a diameter and
has a length of 2r. Use trigonometry to find the
length of the equal legs.
inscribed angles and central angles of a circle. If they
intercept the same arc, how are they related?
SOLUTION:
An inscribed angle has its vertex on the circle. A
central angle has its vertex at the center of the circle.
If a central angle intercepts arc AB, then the
measure of the central angle is equal to m(arc AB). If
an inscribed angle also intercepts arc AB, then the
measure of the inscribed angle is equal to m(arc
AB). So, if an inscribed angle and a central angle
intercept the same arc, then the measure of the
inscribed angle is one-half the measure of the central
angle.

ANSWER:
An inscribed angle has its vertex on the circle. A
central angle has its vertex at the center of the circle.
If an inscribed angle and a central angle intercept the
same arc, then the measure of the inscribed angle is

inches, the distance from the opening to the person is
7 feet, and the camera itself is 15 inches long. How
tall is the person being photographed?
SOLUTION:
The height of the person being photographed is the
length of the base of the larger triangle. The two
triangles are similar. So, their corresponding sides will
be proportional. One foot is equivalent to 12 in. Then,
the height of the larger triangle is 7(12) = 84 in. Let x
