Step-by-step solution
2 stepsComplete the proof for the case where one side of the inscribed angle passes through the center .
Let . Since is an isosceles triangle with (radii), the base angles are equal: .
The central angle is an exterior angle to .The measure of the central angle is equal to the measure of the arc it subtends, arc .
Since , we can substitute .
Therefore, for this case:Prove the theorem for the case where the center is inside the inscribed angle (as shown in Figure 5.66).
Draw a diameter from vertex through the center .
This divides into two angles: and .Both and have one side as a diameter (). Applying the result from Step 1:
Substitute these into the equation for :
By the Arc Addition Postulate, $m(arc AD)
