Problem
A hexagon is inscribed in a circle:
What is the measure of , in degrees?
Solution
Labeling our vertices will help a great deal, as will drawing a few radii: First of all, we see that must be half of the major arc thus arc Then, the minor arc must be
Likewise, the minor arc must be and the minor arc is Now, arc and must add up to which means that
Likewise, the minor arc must be and the minor arc is Now, arc and must add up to which means that
Final answer
145^\circ
