Inscribed Angle Theorem and Its Applications

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Inscribed angles are central to the instructional activity. Young mathematicians build upon concepts learned in the previous instructional activity and formalize the Inscribed Angle Theorem relating inscribed and central angles. The instructional activity then guides learners to prove the theorem for different cases.
