About This Worksheet

This easy-level worksheet contains 18 problems designed for 10th Grade students practicing arcs & central angles. Easy worksheets use simpler numbers and straightforward problem types to build confidence and reinforce foundational skills.

Arc measure is the bridge between angle measurement and the geometry of circles. These relationships appear in every subsequent circle topic — inscribed angles, tangent-chord angles, and arc length calculations — making fluency with arcs and central angles essential for circle geometry.

  • Calculate arc measures using central angle measures
  • Apply the Arc Addition Postulate to find arc measures in complex figures
  • Distinguish congruent arcs and chords and apply their relationships
  • Use the perpendicular bisector of a chord to locate the center of a circle
  • Set up equations from congruent arc or chord conditions to find missing values

How to Solve: Worked Example

Example Problem: A central angle measures 124°. Find its intercepted arc.
Solution Steps:
  1. A central angle has its vertex at the centre of the circle.
  2. Its intercepted arc has the same measure as the angle.
  3. So the arc is 124°.
Answer: 124°
Tip: Central angle equals its arc. An inscribed angle is half its arc — do not mix the two up.
