Objective
To verify that angle in a semi-circle is a right angle/90
degree , using vector method.

Material required
 White paper
 Adhesive,
 Pens,
 Geometry box,
 Eraser,
 Wires,
 Paper arrow heads.

Construction & Demonstration

1. Take a white sheet of paper of appropriate size.
2. On this paper draw a circle, with centre O and radius 10 cm.
3. Fix nails at the points O, A, B, P and Q. Join OP, OA, OB, AP, AQ,
BQ, OQ and BP using wires.
4. Put arrows on OA, OB, OP, AP, BP, OQ, AQ and BQ to show
them as vectors, using paper arrow heads, as shown in the
figure.
 5. Using a protractor, measure the angle between the vectors
APand BP , i.e., ∠ APB = 90°.
6. Similarly, the angle between the vectors AQand BQ , i.e., ∠
AQB = 90°.
7. Repeat the above process by taking some more points R, S, T,
... on the semi-circles, forming vectors AR, BR; AS, BS; AT, BT; ...,
etc., i.e., angle formed between two vectors in a semi-circle is a
right angle.

Observation
Application
This activity can be used to explain the concepts of-
(i) opposite vectors
(ii) vectors of equal magnitude
(iii) perpendicular vectors
(iv) Dot product of two vectors.
