Question

Select the correct answer.

The measure of an angle formed by two secants intersecting inside the circle equals

A) 1/2 the sum of the intercepted arcs
B) 1/2 the difference of the intercepted arcs
C) 1/2 the measure of the intercepted arc

Answer 1

A. 1/2 the sum of the intercepted arcs

Answer 2

A) 1/2 the sum of the intercepted arcs

Explanation:

Definition of secant : Secant is a line which intersects a circle in exactly two points.

Also, when two secants intersect inside a circle then the measure of the angle formed is one-half the sum of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

Hence, OPTION A is correct.
