Ángulos en la circunferencia │ ángulo semiinscrito

Summary

In this educational video, the speaker explains the concept of a semi-inscribed angle formed by a tangent line, a secant line, and the point of tangency. By drawing a perpendicular from the center of the circle to the tangent, the point of tangency is found. The angle is then calculated by dividing the intercepted arc by two. The speaker demonstrates how this method works with examples, including one where the secant is the diameter of the circle, resulting in a 90-degree angle. Additionally, the video promotes a platform for learning various mathematical topics, from arithmetic to calculus.

Takeaways

• 😀 A semi-inscribed angle is formed by a tangent line and a secant line, with the tangency point being the vertex of the angle.
• 😀 To find the point of tangency, draw a perpendicular line from the center of the circle to the tangent line, forming a 90-degree angle.
• 😀 Once the tangency point is found, the angle between the tangent and the radius will always be 90 degrees.
• 😀 To calculate an inscribed angle, identify the arc intercepted by the angle and divide its measure by 2.
• 😀 A full circle has 360 degrees, so an intercepted arc of 150 degrees results in an inscribed angle of 75 degrees.
• 😀 In the given example, the angle beta is a semi-inscribed angle formed by a tangent and a secant line, where the secant is the diameter of the circle.
• 😀 The arc intercepted by beta is calculated from the tangency point to where the secant (diameter) ends.
• 😀 The direction of the arc matters when calculating the inscribed angle, as the direction affects the angle's value.
• 😀 In this case, the arc from the tangency point to the secant's end is 180 degrees, as it corresponds to half the circle (diameter).
• 😀 Therefore, the semi-inscribed angle beta is 90 degrees, forming a right angle at the tangency point.
• 😀 The script emphasizes the importance of understanding these geometrical principles for solving various mathematical problems and encourages subscribing to the channel for more math lessons.

Q & A

What is a semi-inscribed angle?

A semi-inscribed angle is formed by a tangent line and a secant line, meeting at the point of tangency, which serves as the vertex of the angle.

How can you find the point of tangency if it's not provided?

To find the point of tangency, draw a line perpendicular from the center of the circle to the tangent. This creates a right angle, and the point where this line meets the tangent is the point of tangency.

How do you calculate the measure of an inscribed angle?

First, identify the arc intercepted by the angle. Then, divide the degree measure of the intercepted arc by 2. For example, if the intercepted arc is 150 degrees, the inscribed angle would be 75 degrees.

What is the total number of degrees in a complete circle?

A complete circle has 360 degrees.

If the intercepted arc of an angle is 150 degrees, what is the value of the angle?

If the intercepted arc is 150 degrees, the value of the angle would be half of the intercepted arc, which is 75 degrees.

How do you calculate the value of an angle formed by a tangent and a secant?

To calculate the angle, first identify the intercepted arc between the point of tangency and where the secant line ends. Then, divide the degree measure of this arc by 2.

What is the value of the arc if a secant intersects the tangent at the diameter of the circle?

If the secant intersects the tangent at the diameter, the value of the arc is 180 degrees, as it is half of the total 360 degrees of the circle.

What is the measure of a semi-inscribed angle formed by a secant and tangent with a diameter?

The semi-inscribed angle formed by a secant and tangent with a diameter is 90 degrees, as the arc is 180 degrees, and the angle is half of the intercepted arc.

How is a semi-inscribed angle related to the full circle?

A semi-inscribed angle intercepts half of the full circle, so the arc involved is always 180 degrees, and the angle formed will be half of that, or 90 degrees.
