ACCESS - Circles and Central Angles 1

Angle BAC is a central angle on circle A. BC is the arc associated with angle BAC. It is green as a minor arc and red if it is a major arc. Adjust the ca (central angle) slider to change the measure of the central angle. Drag point B to change the location of the angle. [br][br]1. When is arc BC the smallest? [br]2. For which angle measures is arc BC a minor arc? a major arc?

Explore - Chord Length

AB and CD are chords that intersect inside circle O. Drag A, B, C, and D to adjust the lines. The text shows the lengths of the segments and their products. How are the products of the segments of the chords related?
