Unit 7: Circles

Performance Task
SC 2015 Standards:

G.GCI.2: Identify and describe relationships among inscribed angles, radii, and chords; among
inscribed angles, central angles, and circumscribed angles; and between radii and tangents to
circles. Use those relationships to solve mathematical and real-world problems.

G.GGPE.1: Understand that the standard equation of a circle is derived from the definition of a
circle and the distance formula.

ACT Standards:

ACT D. 3. b. Determine the measure of central and inscribed angles and their intercepted arcs

ACT D. 3. c. Find segment lengths, angle measures, and intercepted arc measures formed by
chords, secants, and tangents intersecting inside and outside circles

ACT G. 1. d. Write equations for circles in standard form and solve problems using equations
and graphs

Objective:

Apply the properties of central angles, inscribed angles, and arcs of circles to solve problems

Apply the properties of lines that intersect circles (including two secants, two tangents, and a
secant and a tangent) to solve problems

Find the center and radius given the equation of a circle

Write the equation of a circle given the radius and center or center and point on the circle

 Unit 7: Circles Performance Task
For this project, there are 3 sections that you must complete.
Part 1: pick 2 circles from the group of 3 to find the measures of every numbered
angle or arc. Circle 3 will earn you 5 points extra credit and points are awarded for
being correct. All work must be shown.
Part 2: you must answer the multiple choice questions below, followed by the
question about equations of circles. Answers must be clear and legible.
Part 3: you must create 3 test problems. One question needs to involve equations of
circles, one question must involve inscribed or central angles, and one question can
deal with segments/lines in circles. These questions can be multiple choice, find the
error, or short answer. Be sure to provide all necessary information and work
through the problem, showing a solution. A point value should be determined for
your question based on its difficulty.

Due Date: March 27th /March 28th (10 points will be taken off per day that it is late!)

* Please remember to come in and ask for help if you need it!

**You may replace part 2 or part 3 with the following option:

Create a game or activity that is directly related to what we have learned about circles.
Your game must have a name, materials, and instructions. You must also bring in all
necessary pieces of your game. Bonus points will be awarded for creativity if it blows
me away!
