Central & Intercepting Angles

The applet below illustrates the [b]types of angles[/b] that can be formed inside a circle.
When point E and point P coincide, the [color=#00ff00][b]green angles[/b] [/color]that are formed are [u]specifically[/u] called ____________ _____________, because the vertex is positioned at the center of the circle.
Now, drag points A, B, C, or D and observe how the positioning of the [color=#00ff00][b]green angles [/b][/color]changes.[br][br]When point E and point P no longer coincide, the [color=#00ff00][b]green angles[/b] [/color]that are formed are [u]more generally[/u] called ____________ ____________, because both sides of the angle intersect an arc of the circle.
