Arcs and Angles
Noah didn't construct this kind of arc. High school scholars first explore how angles can be formed in circles. They then learn relationships between angles and arcs by conducting an exploratory activity where they position and draw arcs...
Curated OER
Secants, Tangents and Arcs
Learners identify chords and angles. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the length of the chords inside and outside of-the circle. They differentiate between tangent and secant lines.
