Angle at the Center Theorem
Part 1: Pizza
Graph 1
MOVE POINT E and find out how big you want your slice pizza. Answer in terms of degrees and give the coordinates of E . Example: Pizza Slice Size is 180 degrees and coordinate E (-4,0).
Part 2: Best Guess
Graph 2
Give me your best guess on the measurement of the inscribed angle BDC (the angle in pink).
Part 3: Learning Time
Please watch this video.
Graph 3
If the central angle BAC is 90 degrees, then what is the measurement of the inscribed angle BDC? Explain your reasoning.
Using Graph 3 above If the measurement of the central angle BAC is 240 degrees, what is the measurement of the inscribed angle BDC?
Using Graph 3 above If the measurement of the inscribed angle BDC is 64 degrees, what is the measurement of the central angle BAC?
Angle at the Center Theorem
What is the relationship between the measurement of central angle BAC and the measurement of inscribed angle BDC? Select all that apply.
