00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,860


2
00:00:00,860 --> 00:00:05,470
Angle A is a circumscribed
angle on circle O.

3
00:00:05,470 --> 00:00:07,950
So this is angle
A right over here.

4
00:00:07,950 --> 00:00:11,360
Then when they say it's
a circumscribed angle,

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,550
that means that the
two sides of the angle

6
00:00:13,550 --> 00:00:15,820
are tangent to the circle.

7
00:00:15,820 --> 00:00:18,530
So AC is tangent to
the circle at point

8
00:00:18,530 --> 00:00:23,090
C. AB is tangent to
the circle at point B.

9
00:00:23,090 --> 00:00:25,440
What is the measure of angle A?

10
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,730
Now, I encourage you
to pause the video now

11
00:00:28,730 --> 00:00:30,840
and to try this out on your own.

12
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,600
And I'll give you a hint.

13
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,960
It will leverage the fact that
this is a circumscribed angle

14
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,580
as you could imagine.

15
00:00:38,580 --> 00:00:41,140
So I'm assuming you've
given a go at it.

16
00:00:41,140 --> 00:00:42,560
So the other piece
of information

17
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,490
they give us is that angle D,
which is an inscribed angle,

18
00:00:45,490 --> 00:00:50,960
is 48 degrees and it intercepts
the same arc-- so this

19
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,940
is the arc that it intercepts,
arc CB I guess you could call

20
00:00:53,940 --> 00:00:56,640
it-- it intercepts this
arc right over here.

21
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:57,740
It's the inscribed angle.

22
00:00:57,740 --> 00:01:02,320
The central angle that
intersects that same arc

23
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,840
is going to be twice
the inscribed angle.

24
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,235
So this is going
to be 96 degrees.

25
00:01:07,235 --> 00:01:09,610
I could put three markers here
just because we've already

26
00:01:09,610 --> 00:01:11,370
used the double marker.

27
00:01:11,370 --> 00:01:15,855
Notice, they both intercept
arc CB so some people would

28
00:01:15,855 --> 00:01:18,530
say the measure of
arc CB is 96 degrees,

29
00:01:18,530 --> 00:01:21,180
the central angle is 96
degrees, the inscribed angle

30
00:01:21,180 --> 00:01:23,570
is going to be half
of that, 48 degrees.

31
00:01:23,570 --> 00:01:25,850
So how does this help us?

32
00:01:25,850 --> 00:01:29,560
Well, a key clue is that angle
is a circumscribed angle.

33
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:34,410
So that means AC and AB are
each tangent to the circle.

34
00:01:34,410 --> 00:01:37,450
Well, a line that is
tangent to the circle

35
00:01:37,450 --> 00:01:40,830
is going to be perpendicular to
the radius of the circle that

36
00:01:40,830 --> 00:01:44,570
intersects the circle
at the same point.

37
00:01:44,570 --> 00:01:49,930
So this right over here is
going to be a 90-degree angle,

38
00:01:49,930 --> 00:01:53,730
and this right over here is
going to be a 90-degree angle.

39
00:01:53,730 --> 00:01:56,380
OC is perpendicular to CA.

40
00:01:56,380 --> 00:02:00,330
OB, which is a radius,
is perpendicular to BA,

41
00:02:00,330 --> 00:02:03,160
which is a tangent line, and
they both intersect right

42
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,520
over here at B. Now, this
might jump out at you.

43
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,509
We have a quadrilateral
going on here.

44
00:02:08,509 --> 00:02:13,480
ABOC is a quadrilateral,
so its sides

45
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:20,310
are going to add
up to 360 degrees.

46
00:02:20,310 --> 00:02:23,170
So we could know, we
could write it this way.

47
00:02:23,170 --> 00:02:26,380
We could write the
measure of angle A

48
00:02:26,380 --> 00:02:37,930
plus 90 degrees plus another
90 degrees plus 96 degrees

49
00:02:37,930 --> 00:02:40,880
is going to be equal
to 360 degrees.

50
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:46,620


51
00:02:46,620 --> 00:02:49,720
Or another way of thinking
about it, if we subtract 180

52
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,670
from both sides, if we
subtract that from both sides,

53
00:02:52,670 --> 00:02:59,870
we get the measure of
angle A plus 96 degrees

54
00:02:59,870 --> 00:03:05,142
is going to be equal
to 180 degrees.

55
00:03:05,142 --> 00:03:06,600
Or another way of
thinking about it

56
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,950
is the measure of angle A
or that angle A and angle O

57
00:03:09,950 --> 00:03:12,860
right over here-- you
could call it angle COB--

58
00:03:12,860 --> 00:03:15,620
that these are going to be
supplementary angles if they

59
00:03:15,620 --> 00:03:18,990
add up to 180 degrees.

60
00:03:18,990 --> 00:03:22,130
So if we subtract 96
degrees from both sides,

61
00:03:22,130 --> 00:03:27,561
we get the measure
of angle A is equal

62
00:03:27,561 --> 00:03:30,060
to-- I don't want to make that
look like a less than symbol,

63
00:03:30,060 --> 00:03:32,380
let make it-- measure of
angle-- this one actually

64
00:03:32,380 --> 00:03:35,010
looks more like a--
measure of angle A

65
00:03:35,010 --> 00:03:37,980
is equal to 180 minus 96.

66
00:03:37,980 --> 00:03:39,840
Let's see, 180 minus
90 would be 90,

67
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:46,190
and then we subtract another
6 gets us to 84 degrees.

68
00:03:46,190 --> 00:03:46,695
