OBJECTIVE
To verify that angle subtended by an arc at the centre of circle is double the angle subtended at any point on the remaining part of the circle , experimentally .

4/29/12

Cut one circle of radius 6 cm with centre O from red coloured glazed

6 cm

6 cm

4/29/12

Cut three more circles from different coloured glazed papers of same radius .

Keep all circles one on the other . Now fold along any part and press them to make a crease. On unfolding , we get chords of same length on each circle .

O A

4/29/12

Name the chords , AB in first circle with centre O . Join OA and OB with pencil .

Take two other circles of blue and green colour and put one on the other and fold it such as to form an angle on the circumference with the same chord AB . Name these angles 4/29/12 as ACB where AB is

C E F A OO

Cut angles from ,ACB from blue circle and ACB from green

C G H

Cut the small portion of ACB from both the circles .

We observe that two cut outs of angles fully cover AOB AOB = ECF + GCH (as ECF = GCH = ACB). = ACB

OBSERVATIO N

Hence , we verified that the angle subtended by an arc at the centre of circle is double the angle subtended by the same arc at any point on the remaining part of the circle
