Section outline

  • An inscribed angle is an angle formed by two chords in a circle which have a common endpoint . This common endpoint forms the vertex of the inscribed angle. The other two endpoints define what we call an intercepted arc on the circle. Below, C E D is an inscribed angle.
    ::刻入角是圆中两个和弦形成的一个角,圆中有一个共同的端点。这个共同的端点形成刻入角的顶点。另外两个端点定义了我们在圆上所谓的截取弧。下面, CED是一个刻入角。

    Inscribed Angles C E D A C E D C D Inscribed Angles

    Inscribed angles are inscribed in arcs. You can say that C E D is inscribed in C D ^ . You can also say that C E D intercepts C D ^ .

    ::给定角度被刻入弧形。 您可以说 CED 被刻入 CDQ。 您也可以说 CED 截取 CDQQ 。

    The measure of an inscribed angle is always half the measure of the arc it intercepts. You will prove and then use this theorem in the problems below.
    ::刻入角的测量量始终是它截获的弧量的一半。 您可以在下面的问题中证明并使用这个理论 。

    1. Consider the circle below with center at point A . Prove that m A E C = 1 2 m C A D = 1 2 m C D ^ .
    ::1. 考虑下方圆,以A点为中心。证明 mAEC=12mCAD=12mCD。

      Statements Reasons
    In C A E ,    
      m A C E = m A E C C A ¯ = E A ¯ (radii of the same circle)
      m C A D = m A C E + m A E C Ext of a = sum of int. opp angles
    m C A D = m A E C + m A E C = 2 m A E C = 2 m A C E  
    1 2 m C A D = m A E C  
      m C A D = m C D ^ Central angle has the same measure as its intercepted arc
      1 2 m C D ^ = m A E C By substitution

    This proves that when an inscribed angle passes through the center of a circle, its measure is half the measure of the arc it intercepts.
    ::这证明当一个刻着的角穿过圆的中心时, 它的量度是它拦截的弧的量度的一半。

    2. Use the result from the previous problem to prove that m C E D = 1 2 m C D ^ .
    ::2. 使用上一个问题的结果来证明 mCED=12mCD。

    Draw a diameter through points E and A .
    ::通过点E和A绘制直径。

    From #1, you know that m F E C = 1 2 m F A C .
    ::从1,你知道MFEC=12mFAC。

    You also know that m F E D = 1 2 m F A D .
    ::你也知道MFED=12mFAD。

    Because m F E D = m F E C + m C E D , by substitution 1 2 m F A D = 1 2 m F A C + m C E D . This means m C E D = 1 2 ( m F A D m F A C ) . m F A D m F A C = m C A D , so m C E D = 1 2 m C A D .
    ::因为MFED=mFEC+mCED,代号:12mFAD=12mFAC+mCED。这意味着mCED=12(mFAD-mFAC)。mFAD-mFAC=mCAD,所以mCED=12mCAD。

    Because m C A D = m C D ^ , m C E D = 1 2 m C D ^ .
    ::因为MCAD=mCD,MCED=12mCD。

    This proves in general that the measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc.
    ::这一般证明,一个刻入角的测量量是其被拦截弧的测量量的一半。

    Central Angle Theorem
    ::中心角定理

    Drag the point P , Q or R on the of the circle and observe how the central angle is always twice the inscribed angle.
    ::在圆上拖曳点P、Q或R,并观察中角如何始终是刻入角的两倍。

    Now let's find the measure of an angle.
    ::现在让我们找到一个角度的量度。

    Find m C E D .
    ::寻找mCED。

    Notice that both C E D and C B D intercept C D ^ . This means that their measures are both half the measure of C D ^ , so their measures must be equal. m C E D = 38 .
    ::请注意,“CED”和“CBD”都拦截CD__。这意味着,它们的措施是CD__的一半,因此它们的措施必须是相等的。“MCED=38”。


    Examples
    ::实例实例实例实例

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Point A is the center of the circle below. What can you say about C B D ?
    ::A点是以下圆圈的中心。您对“CBD”有什么看法?

    If point A is the center of the circle, then C B ¯ is a diameter and it divides the circle into two equal halves. This means that m C B ^ = 180 . C D B is an inscribed angle that intercepts C B ^ , so its measure must be half the measure of C B ^ . Therefore, m C D B = 90 and C B D is a right triangle .
    ::如果 A 点是圆的中心, 那么 CB 是直径, 并且将圆分为两等分。 这意味着 mCB\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\CBDBDD\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

    In general, if a triangle is inscribed in a semicircle then it is a right triangle.
    ::一般而言,如果三角形被刻在半圆圈内,它就是右三角形。

    In Example #2 and #3, you will use the circle below to prove that when two chords intersect inside a circle, the products of their segments are equal.
    ::在例2和例3中,您将使用下面的圆来证明 当两个和弦在圆内交叉时, 其区段的产品是相等的 。

    Example 2
    ::例2

    Prove that E F C B F D . Hint: Look for congruent angles!
    ::寻找一致的角度!

    C E D C B D because both are inscribed angles that intercept the same arc ( C D ^ ). E F C B F D because they are . Therefore, E F C B F D by A A .
    ::“CEDCBD”因为两者都是刻着拦截同一弧的角(CD)。”“EFCBFD”因为它们是。因此,“EFCBFD”是AA。

    Example 3
    ::例3

    Prove that E F F D = B F F C .
    ::证明FEF=FFFC。

    Because E F C B F D , its corresponding sides are proportional. This means that E F B F = F C F D . Multiply both sides of the equation by B F F D and you have E F F D = B F F C . This proves that in general, when two chords intersect inside a circle, the products of their segments are equal.
    ::由于 EFC BFD, 其对应面是正比的。 这意味着 FFBF = FFFD 。 乘以 BFFFD 和你有 EFZFD = BFFFC 方程的两边。 这证明, 一般来说, 当两根和弦在圆内交叉时, 它们各部分的产品是相等的 。

    Intersecting Chord Theorem
    ::相交弦定理

    Drag the points on the circumference to reposition the chords and observe how the intersecting chord theorem holds true.
    ::拖动周围的点以重新定位和弦 并观察交错的和弦定理是如何真实的

    Example 4
    ::例4

    For the circle below, find B F .
    ::以下圆形见BF。

    Based on the result of Example #2, you know that E F F D = B F F C = 15 6 = B F 9 . This means that B F = 10 .
    ::根据例2的结果,你知道FEF_FD=BFNFFC=15_6=BFB_9。 这意味着BF=10。
