Question

An inscribed angle in a circle intercepts an arc whose measure is greater than 180

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is;

Never acute

Step-by-step explanation:

When an angle intercepts an ark, we have;

The legs of the angle meets with the endpoints of the arc

Therefore, given that the arc is greater than 180°, and that the angle of the arc is the angle defined at the center of the circle, while the angle defined by the inscribed angle is defined at the circumference of the circle

By circle theorem, the angle at the center is twice that at the circumference, whereby the angle of the arc > 180°, the angle at the subtended by the inscribed angle will > 180°/2, which is > 90° or an obtuse angle
