Angle at Centre, Angle on Arc Investigation

This investigation covers two circles theorems through one demonstration. The theorems are:

  • That the angles on the same arc forming a chord are equal

  • That the angle at the centre is twice the angle at the arc when drawn from the same chord

The initial demonstration involves cutting out angles and comparing them, then attention turns to a formal derivation of the results.
