This tool calculates the measure of an inscribed angle in a circle based on the arc it intercepts.
How to Use the Inscribed Angle Calculator
Enter the coordinates for the center of the circle (cx, cy), one point on the circumference you are measuring from (px, py), and the two points on the arc (qx, qy) and (rx, ry). Click “Calculate” to get the inscribed angle.
How It Calculates the Results
The calculator uses the formula for the inscribed angle where the angle is formed by two chords in a circle that have a common endpoint. The angle is calculated using trigonometric functions to find the angular displacement between the two chords.
Limitations
The calculator assumes a perfect circle and does not account for any distortions or irregularities in the shape of the circle. Ensure the entered points are accurate and in a consistent coordinate plane.
