Given:
m∠NRQ = 60°
To find:
The angle measure of minor arc NQ
Solution:
The inscribed angle is half of the intercepted arc.

Multiply by 2 on both sides.


Substitute m∠NRQ = 60°.


The measure of minor arc NQ is 120°.
There are 3 sides. If you draw out a triangle, each line is a separate side (a line segment connecting 2 vertices, or points). You can also see in the word "triangle" the prefix "tri-", meaning "three". It refers to the shape having 3 angles, but when there are 3 angles there are 3 sides to make it up. This is true for other shapes too - in a square, there are 4 sides connecting 4 points, and between each side is an angle, creating 4 angles.
