1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to calculate the peripheral angle (also known as the inscribed angle) above a circular arc that is equal to 1/121/12 of the circle.

2. Solution Steps

The peripheral angle is half the central angle that subtends the same arc.
A full circle is 360360^{\circ}.
The central angle subtended by the arc which is 1/121/12 of the circle is:
112360=30\frac{1}{12} \cdot 360^{\circ} = 30^{\circ}
The peripheral angle is half of the central angle:
Peripheral Angle =12Central Angle= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \text{Central Angle}
Peripheral Angle =1230=15= \frac{1}{2} \cdot 30^{\circ} = 15^{\circ}

3. Final Answer

1515^{\circ}
