Note that when moving the point P, the inscribed angle is constant while it is in the major arc formed by A,B. Given two points A and B, lines from them to a third point P form the inscribed angle â  APB. As you drag the point P above, notice that the inscribed angle is constant.
The Mexican War. The Mexican War between the United States and Mexico began with a Mexican attack on American troops along the southern border of Texas on Apr. 25, 1846. Fighting ended when U.S. Gen. Winfield Scott occupied Mexico City on Sept. 14, 1847; a few months later a peace treaty was signed (Feb. 2, 1848) at Guadalupe Hidalgo.
During the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), both America and Mexico fought for control of Texas. When that war ended, (by agreement) the fast-growing U. S. took possession of Texas, and what is now California, Utah, most of Arizona, smaller parts of New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming, and of course, Nevada. Brigham Young brought his Mormon flock into Utah, and many settled in neighboring Nevada.
