About This Worksheet

This hard-level worksheet contains 27 problems designed for 10th Grade students practicing inscribed angles. Hard worksheets feature challenging problems including multi-step questions, missing values, and real-world applications to push students further.

The Inscribed Angle Theorem is one of the most elegant and useful results in circle geometry. It connects angles and arcs in a precise way that enables problem solving throughout circle geometry and appears in higher mathematics including the geometry of complex numbers and the unit circle in trigonometry.

  • Apply the Inscribed Angle Theorem (inscribed angle = half the intercepted arc)
  • Use corollaries to find angles inscribed in semicircles or in the same arc
  • Apply the properties of inscribed polygons, especially cyclic quadrilaterals
  • Calculate angles formed by two chords intersecting inside a circle
  • Solve for missing arc or angle measures in multi-step circle diagram problems

How to Solve: Worked Example

Example Problem: In a cyclic quadrilateral one angle measures 66°. Find the opposite angle.
Solution Steps:
  1. A cyclic quadrilateral has all four vertices on a circle.
  2. Its opposite angles are supplementary.
  3. 180 - 66 = 114°.
Answer: 114°
Tip: This follows from the inscribed angle theorem — the two arcs together make the full 360°.
