    Hi Sal, I have a question about the angle theorem proof and I am curious what happened if in all cases there was a radius and the angle defined would I be able to find the arch length by using the angle proof? Or I had to identify the type of angle that I am given to figure out my arch length? Thanks....

    can I use ψ as a variable to measure any angle I want to?

      Yes, and it doesn't have to be an angle. You can assign any variable you like to any symbol you like. You can use Latin letters, Greek letters, Hebrew letters, random shapes, emoji, or anything else.

      It's common practice to use the variables θ, φ, ψ for angle measures (I myself like to use η, since it's the letter before θ), but the rules aren't set in stone. Define whatever you like.

    is it possible to prove case c without proving a & b first?

      You do not need to prove case B to prove case C, or vice-verse. But in proving case C (or proving case B), you need to prove case A first/along the way.

      If the angle were 180, then it would be a straight angle and the sides would form a tangent line. Anything smaller would make one side of the angle pass through a second point on the circle. So the restriction on the inscribed angle would be:
      0 < ψ < 180

    What happens to the measure of the inscribed angle when its vertex is on the arc? Will it be covered in the future lecture?

      If the vertex of the inscribed angle is on the arc, then it would be the reflex of the center angle that is 2 times of the inscribed angle. You can probably prove this by slicing the circle in half through the center of the circle and the vertex of the inscribed angle then use Thales' Theorem to reach case A again (kind of a modified version of case B actually).

    Do all questions have the lines colored? If not, how would you distinguish between the two?

      Normally, to distinguish between two lines, you would have letters instead.
      E.g: f(x) vs g(x)

      m=measure so it would just be the measure of the angle

    Ok so I have a small question, I'm doing something called VLA and they gave me two different equations one to find the radius using the circumference, and the other to find the diameter also using the circumference, the equations were. Circumference/p = diameter, and the other was circumference/2p = radius, but i'm confused cause when I used the second one, it would give me a really big number while the first equation gave me a smaller number. Also sorry if this has nothing to do with what you were talking about Sal, I was waiting until I had enough energy to be able to ask my question.

      When you compute C/2π, be sure that you're dividing by π by putting the denominator in parentheses. If you just enter C/2*π, the calculator will follow order of operations, computing C/2, then multiplying the result by π.
