Refer to Figure 3 and the example that accompanies it.
Figure 3 A circle with two diameters and a (nondiameter) chord.
Notice that m ∠3 is exactly half of m 
, and m ∠4 is half of m 
∠3 and ∠4 are inscribed angles, and and are their intercepted arcs, which leads to the following theorem.
Theorem 70: The measure of an inscribed angle in a circle equals half the measure of its intercepted arc.
The following two theorems directly follow from Theorem 70.
Theorem 71: If two inscribed angles of a circle intercept the same arc or arcs of equal measure, then the inscribed angles have equal measure.
Theorem 72: If an inscribed angle intercepts a semicircle, then its measure is 90°.
Example 1: Find m ∠ C in Figure 4.

Example 2: Find m ∠ A and m ∠ B in Figure 5.
Figure 5 Two inscribed angles with the same measure.
Example 3: In Figure 6, QS is a diameter. Find m ∠ R. m ∠ R = 90° (Theorem 72).

Example 4: In Figure 7 of circle O, m 60° and m ∠1 = 25°.
