Texas Instruments: Angles Formed by Intersecting Chords, Secants, and Tangents

Curated by ACT

In this activity, students will investigate properties of angles and arcs formed when chords, secants, and tangents intersect and intercept arcs in a circle. They discover several important theorems concerning circles and arc sizes. They make use of the Central Angle theorem, which ensures that the measure of a central angle of a circle is equal to the measure of its intercepted arc.
