If a central angle is very small, there is little difference in the length between an arc and the inscribed chord. See the figure to the right. Assume that the mast of a boat is 42.0 ft high. If it subtends an angle of 2°11', how far away is it? (Note: When a central angle intercepts an arc, the arc is said to subtend the angle.) Are Inseribed chord
