Term 2 - Week 14 - Activity 1 - Angles in Circles

This document provides background information on angles in circles, including definitions of central angles and inscribed angles. It then presents three properties of angles in circles: 1) the measure of a central angle is twice the measure of an inscribed angle subtended by the same arc, 2) an angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle, and 3) inscribed angles subtended by the same arc are equal. The remainder of the document contains a drawing and questions to test understanding of central and inscribed angles.
