   for angles inscribed in a circle they are 1/2 the degree of the arc it incluedes.

   central angles always have the same degree as the arc it includes

   The quantities you are likely to work with are: angle, apothem, arc, area, chord, height, and radius. If you are given any two of these, you can calculate the rest because they are all connected.

   Here are my tips that I use:
   Formula for inscribed angle
   If you know the length of the minor arc and radius, the inscribed angle is:

   where:
   L is the length of the minor (shortest) arc AB
   R is the radius of the circle
   ? is Pi, approximately 3.142

   Arcs and Chords
   The two points A and B can be isolated points, or they could be the end points of an arc or chord. When they are the end points of an arc, the angle is sometimes called the peripheral angle of the arc.
   Central Angle
   A similar concept is the central angle. This is the angle subtended at the center of the circle by the two given points.

   The central angle is always twice the inscribed angle. Relationship to Thales’ Theorem
   Refer to the above figure. If the two points A,B form a diameter of the circle, the inscribed angle will be 90°, which is Thales’ Theorem. You can verify this yourself by solving the formula above using an arc length of half the circumference of the circle.
   You can also move the points A or B above until the inscribed angle is exactly 90°. You will see that the points A and B are then diametrically opposite each other.

   Hope I helped!
