Objectives
To understand the angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.
Estimated Time
30 minutes
Prerequisites/Instructions, prior preparations, if any
knowledge about circle, circumference of circle, chord of a circle, arc of a circle, angle at centre
Materials/ Resources needed
Digital: Click here to open the file
Non-digital: paper, pencil, ruler, compass, protractor
Process (How to do the activity)
Download this geogebra file from this link.
Procedure:
- With 'A' as the centre, draw a circle of any radius.
- Mark two points B and B' on this circle. Then, BB' is an arc of the circle.
- Mark point 'C' on any point on circle's circumference.
- Identify the angle subtended by BB' at the centre of the circle
- Measure the angle ∠BAB'.
- Identify the angle subtended by BB' at any point on the remaining part of the circle at 'C'.
- Measure the angle ∠BCB'.
- Verified that the angle ∠BAB' subtended by an arc at the centre of a circle is double the angle ∠BCB' subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.i.e. ∠BAB'=2∠BCB'
