The Measure of an Inscribed Angle

In general, the measure of the inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc:

Angle ABD measures half of arc AD and angle DBC measures half of arc DC.  Therefore angle ABC measures half of arc ADC.

We state this as a theorem:

Theorem 3:  The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc:
