This lesson is to be used to discover relationships between central angles, inscribed angles and the measure of the intercepted arc.
Follow the directions and answer the questions below.
Directions:
o Check on the checkbox to Show Central Angle and its Measure
o Check on the checkbox to Show Arc and its Measure
o Drag points C and D and record at least three measures:
Make a conjecture about the relationship between a central angle and its intercepted arc:
