Inscribed angle its intersection points equals half of the central angle subtended by the chord. See also Tangent lines to circles. The inscribed angle theorem is used in many proofs of elementary Euclidean geometry of the plane. A special case of the theorem is Thales' theorem, which states that the angle subtended by a diameter is always 90°, i.e., a right angle. As a consequence of the theorem, opposite angles of cyclic quadrilaterals sum to 180°; conversely, any quadrilateral for which this is true can be inscribed in a circle. As another example, the inscribed angle theorem is the basis for several
Vertex angle the sum of the interior angles is π("n" − 2) radians or 180("n" − 2) degrees. Because more than two lines in a polytope can intersect in the same space, the number of vertex angles from any given vertex is not always one. Because of this, it is sometimes necessary to specify not only the vertex, but also the specific line segments that make up the angle. Vertex angle In geometry, a vertex angle is an angle associated with a vertex of an n-dimensional polytope. Often a vertex angle of a polygon is referred to simply as an angle of
