Central angle intersection points and of the legs of the angle with the circle form a diameter, then is a straight angle. (In radians, .) Let be the minor arc of the circle between points and , and let be the radius of the circle. If the central angle is subtended by , then If the central angle is not subtended by the minor arc , then is a reflex angle and If a tangent at and a tangent at intersect at the exterior point , then denoting the center as , the angles (convex) and are supplementary (sum to 180°).

Perceived visual angle specifies the amount by which one should rotate one's eye to quickly look from one seen point to another eye tracking, saccade, observers in other experiments shifted their gaze from one object endpoint to the other, and the angle the eye rotated through was measured as "θ′" for that object (Yarbus (1967). It is important to understand how "θ′" differs from "S′". Consider an example illustrated by the sketch at the right. Suppose one is looking through a window at a house 240 feet away, so it subtends a visual angle of about 7 degrees. The window opening is 10
