the measure of an arc whatever that is, means the angle of that arc is half of it ... yes?
No. There are 360 degrees in an entire circle so the measure of the arc is a certain number of degrees depending on how much of the circle it is. If it is half of the circle then its measure is 180 degrees. If it is 1/4 of the circle it's measure is 90 degrees and so on.
measure of arc is the the SAME as the measure of its central angle
If you have an angle with its vertex on the circle, the measure of that angle is 1/2 its arc. That is called an inscribed angle.
If you have an angle whose vertex is at the center of the circle, its measure is the same as its arc.
o ok then my question was over an inscribed angle you mean its not half if the lines come out the circle

That is a picture of an inscribed angle and its arc is 80 degrees. So the angle is 40 degrees.
