Lesson: Angles formed by Tangents
Introduction:
1. Show the following figures to the students:
a.
c.

b.
d.

2. Let the students identify the angles formed in each figure.

What do you call the angles formed in each figure?
Interaction:
1.
What do you call

ABC ?

How do we find

m ABC ?

1
m ABC= (measure of its intercepted arc)
2
1
m ABC= AB
2

Example 1:
Find the value of x.

Example 2:

Find

m ACB , if m AEC=220 .

Example 3:
If

m ACB=58, what ism ACDm AEC ?

2. Show the following figure:

What do you call

B ?

How are we going to find the measure of

Example 1:
Find measure of

1 .

Example 2:

If m AC = 160, find m

ABC .

B ?
