Interior Angle of a Circle

Angle whose vertex is inside a circle and whose sides are chords of the circle.

Property

The degree measure of angle CAF below is equal to one-half the measure of the intercepted arc angle.

Example

In the figure below, angle CAF is an interior angle of the circle with centre O.
Therefore: m[latex]∠\textrm{CAF} = \frac{\textrm{m} \widehat{\textrm{BE}}\space+\space\textrm{m}\widehat{\textrm{CF}}} {2}[/latex]
