Answer to Problem 24WE
Numbered angles are congruent because their corresponding arcs are also congruent.
Explanation of Solution
Giveninformation: A regular polygon with 7 sides is given as shown in below figure,
Concept used:Use following properties of a
(i) By theorem 9.4, congruent chords have congruent arcs.
(ii) In a circle, congruent arcs subtend congruent inscribed angles on their remaining arcs.
To prove: In given figure, all number angles are congruent.
Key steps of proof of case III:
- Circumscribe a circle along given regular polygon with 7 sides.
- Thus, congruent sides of regular polygon are congruent chords of this circle.
- By above (i) concept, their corresponding arcs are also congruent.
- Now as these congruent arcs make numbered inscribed angles, by above concept (ii), these numbered angles will also be congruent.
Conclusion: Thus,It concludes that all numbered angles are congruent as their corresponding arcs of circumscribed circle are also congruent.
b.
To find:If angles inscribed by arcs of a regular polygon are congruent, irrespective of its total sides in it.

Answer to Problem 24WE
In a regular polygon of any number of sides, the inscribed angles by its arcs are always congruent.
Explanation of Solution
Giveninformation: A regular polygon with 7 sides is given as shown in below figure,
Concept used:Use following properties of a circle,
(i) By theorem 9.4, congruent chords have congruent arcs.
(ii) In a circle, congruent arcs subtend congruent inscribed angles on their remaining arcs.
To prove: If result of part (a) is applicable to a regular polygon with any number of its sides.
Key steps of proof of case III:
- Circumscribe a circle along a regular polygon with any number of sides.
- Thus, congruent sides of regular polygon are congruent chords of this circle.
- By above (i) concept, their corresponding arcs are also congruent.
- Now as these congruent arcs make numbered inscribed angles, by above concept (ii), these numbered angles will also be congruent.
Conclusion: Thus, It concludes that all numbered angles are congruent as their corresponding arcs of circumscribed circle are also congruent. And it does not depend on number of sides of the regular polygon.
