Circle Terminology
There are many vocabulary terms we use when talking about a circle.
The following app was designed to help you clearly see and interact with each term.
Explore this app for a few minutes. Then answer the questions that follow.
Note: LARGE POINTS are moveable.


How would you describe or define a CIRCLE as a locus (set of points that meets specified criteria)?

Properties of Tangents Drawn to Circles (A)
In the applet below, 2 tangent rays are drawn to a circle from a point outside that circle.
Interact with the applet below for a few minutes. As you do, be sure to change the locations of the blue points (i.e. alter the size of the circle) and yellow point.
After doing so, please answer the questions that follow.

Inscribed Angle Theorem (V1)
The PINK ANGLE is said to be an INSCRIBED ANGLE of a circle.
You can move the pink point anywhere on the NON-BLUE arc of the circle.
You can change the size of the BLUE intercepted arc by moving either of the white points.
You can also adjust the circle's radius using the GRAY POINT.
Answer the questions that follow.

Try testing your informal conclusions for (responses to) (2) and (3) a few times by dragging the slider back to its starting position, changing the location of the pink inscribed angle, and changing the size of the blue intercepted arc.
Then slide the slider again.

Inscribed Angle Theorem (Proof without Words)
Recall that the measure of an arc of a circle is the same as the measure of its corresponding central angle. (See applet.)
Definition: An INSCRIBED ANGLE of a circle is an angle whose vertex lies on the circle and has each of its rays intersect the circle at one other point. (Click checkbox to show inscribed angle.)
Notice how both the inscribed angle and central angle both intercept the same arc.
Click on the CHECK THIS OUT !!! checkbox that appears afterwards. Be sure to move points A, B, and the pink vertex of the inscribed angle around. (You can also change the radius of the circle if you wish.)
In a circle, what is the relationship between the measure of an inscribed angle with respect to the measure of its intercepted arc?
