  1. Complete the proof for the case where one side of the inscribed angle passes through the center OO.

    Let m(∠OBA)=θm(\angle OBA) = \theta. Since △OAB\triangle OAB is an isosceles triangle with OA=OBOA = OB (radii), the base angles are equal: m(∠OAB)=m(∠OBA)=θm(\angle OAB) = m(\angle OBA) = \theta.
    The central angle ∠AOC\angle AOC is an exterior angle to △OAB\triangle OAB.

    m(∠AOC)=m(∠OAB)+m(∠OBA)m(\angle AOC) = m(\angle OAB) + m(\angle OBA) m(∠AOC)=θ+θm(\angle AOC) = \theta + \theta m(∠AOC)=2θm(\angle AOC) = 2\theta

    The measure of the central angle ∠AOC\angle AOC is equal to the measure of the arc it subtends, arc ACAC.

    m(arc AC)=m(∠AOC)=2θm(\text{arc } AC) = m(\angle AOC) = 2\theta

    Since m(∠ABC)=m(∠OBA)=θm(\angle ABC) = m(\angle OBA) = \theta, we can substitute θ=12m(arc AC)\theta = \frac{1}{2} m(\text{arc } AC).
    Therefore, for this case:

    m(∠ABC)=12m(arc AC)m(\angle ABC) = \frac{1}{2} m(\text{arc } AC)
  2. Prove the theorem for the case where the center OO is inside the inscribed angle (as shown in Figure 5.66).

    Draw a diameter BDBD from vertex BB through the center OO.
    This divides ∠ABC\angle ABC into two angles: ∠ABD\angle ABD and ∠DBC\angle DBC.

    m(∠ABC)=m(∠ABD)+m(∠DBC)m(\angle ABC) = m(\angle ABD) + m(\angle DBC)

    Both ∠ABD\angle ABD and ∠DBC\angle DBC have one side as a diameter (BDBD). Applying the result from Step 1:

    m(∠ABD)=12m(arc AD)m(\angle ABD) = \frac{1}{2} m(\text{arc } AD) m(∠DBC)=12m(arc DC)m(\angle DBC) = \frac{1}{2} m(\text{arc } DC)

    Substitute these into the equation for m(∠ABC)m(\angle ABC):

    m(∠ABC)=12m(arc AD)+12m(arc DC)m(\angle ABC) = \frac{1}{2} m(\text{arc } AD) + \frac{1}{2} m(\text{arc } DC) m(∠ABC)=12(m(arc AD)+m(arc DC))m(\angle ABC) = \frac{1}{2} (m(\text{arc } AD) + m(\text{arc } DC))

    By the Arc Addition Postulate, $m(arc AD)
