    Hello Sal, I was wondering how does the length of Arc CD correspond to the measure of angle DEG, when the EC doesn't pass through the center of the circle?
    It wouldn't be a central angle.

      When he says the angle of the arc, he means the angle of the arc as measured from point O, which according to previous videos should be twice the angle.

    Sal proofed that the measure of an inscribed angle which intercepts the same arc as a CENTRAL ANGLE is going to be half the measure of that of the CENTRAL ANGLE. In this video he states, that an inscribed angle also has half the measure of the ARC, it intercepts. When did he proofed that? Did I miss a video. In the previous videos or articles, he only proofed it vor CENTRAL ANGLES, not for ARCS, right?

      For any given arc, there can be any number of inscribed angles that subtend it, but only one central angle will subtend that same arc. Since the inscribed angle theorem tells us that any inscribed angle will be exactly half the measure of the central angle that subtends its arc, it follows that all inscribed angles sharing that arc will be half the measure of the same central angle. Therefore, the inscribed angles must all be congruent. Hope this helps!

    from where do we get the theorem that an inscribed angle will be half the measure of that arc which it intercepts? please help.

      Intercepts is a noun to describe where the graph of a function or equation crosses the x or y axis. Intersects is a verb to describe where two or more lines meet, it could but does not have to be on the x or y axis, it could be anywhere on the graph.

      That would be true if we were looking for the Measure of Arc CD, because the angle would have to originate at O.
      BUT we don't have to do that here: because as Sal explains, the two angles we are comparing are both INSCRIBED angles. And an inscribed angle is ALWAYS half of the measure of an Arc. Which means that all inscribed angles of the same arc are going to be the same.
      Since angle CFD is an inscribed angle of Arc CD, and angle CED is ALSO an inscribed angle of Arc CD, the two angles are equal.

      Another way to think about it: you can use CFD to solve for COD. Since COD is going to be the Measure of Arc CD, and CFD is an inscribed angle, we know that CFD is going to be half of COD. So COD would HAVE to be 100degrees. And then we can turn it around, and see that CED is an inscribed angle of COD - and since an inscribed angle of COD is half of COD, we know that CED has to be 50degrees.

      An angle is inscribed in a circle when it's vertex is on the circumference and both its rays fall within the circle.
