Lesson 3 THEOREM 11.2
In a circle or in congruent circles, two minor arcs
are congruent if and only if their corresponding

inscribed
A polygon is inscribed if all of its vertices lie on the
circle.
Prove Theorem 11.2
Quadrilateral ABCD is an inscribed polygon
because all of its vertices lie on the circle. Example
A
Proof: Write a two-column proof.
D E B
Given: DE ≅ FG
m∠EBF = 24
C DFG is a semicircle.
circumscribed Prove: m∠FBG = 78
a circle is circumscribed about a polygon if it
