Geometry (3/29–4/2)

On Monday, we went over unit 5 Test together and worked out problems together. We explored 1) inscribed angles discovering that they are one-half measure of the corresponding central angle, 2) an inscribed triangle (in a circle) with a diameter as a side is a right triangle, 3) perpendicular bisectors of a chord go through the center of circle. Wednesday, we created inscribed and circumscribed circles within/about any given triangle using angle bisectors and perpendicular bisectors respectively. Next week, we will use coordinate geometry to explore the equations of circles and find their centers and radii.
