Lesson 2: Circles, Chords, Diameter, and Their Relationships
Lesson 3: Rectangles Inscribed in Circles
Lesson 4: Experiments with Inscribed Angles
Lesson 5: Inscribed Angle Theorem and Its Applications
Lesson 6: Unknown Angle Problems with Inscribed Angles in

the converse of Thales’ theorem: If triangle ABC is a right
triangle, then A, B, and C are three distinct points on a circle
with a diameter .
• Students prove the statement of Thales’ theorem: If A, B, and

C are three different points on a circle with a diameter then
angle ABC is a right angle.

given meaning first. In this lesson, we will define the distance from the center of a circle to a chord. This definition will
allow us to talk about the center of a circle as being equidistant from two chords.

1. If a diameter of a circle bisects a chord, then it must be perpendicular to
the chord.
2. If a diameter of a circle is perpendicular to a chord, then it bisects the
chord.
3. In a circle, if two chords are congruent, then the center of the circle is equidistant from the two
chords.
4. In a circle, if two chords are equidistant from the center, then the two chords are congruent.

find the center of a given circle.
Lesson 3

Construct a rectangle that is inscribed in a given circle.

Exercise to accomplish this goal?
• What do we know about the properties of rectangles?
Lesson 3

Strategy #1:
• We know that the diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length and bisect
each other.
• The diameters/hypotenuses satisfy this criteria so their endpoints are the
vertices of an inscribed rectangle.
Lesson 3

Strategy #2:
• A rectangle is composed of two congruent right triangles. A congruence
consisting of a 180˚ rotation about the midpoint of the hypotenuse maps one
triangle onto the other.
• Rotate one of your triangles about the center of the circle 180˚.
Students may find alternative strategies.
Lesson 3

arc as the central angle.
• Students recognize and use different cases of the inscribed angle theorem
embedded in diagrams. This includes recognizing and using the result that
inscribed angles that intersect the same arc are equal in measure.

central angle whose measure is greater than 180 degrees is left for lesson 7.

Opening Exercises

Examples 1 and 2
Based on our observation from the Opening Exercise, the
following theorem can be developed:
Theorem: The measure of a central angle is twice the measure of any
inscribed angle that intercepts the same arc as the central angle.
Case 1: The vertex of the central angle lies on a side of the inscribed angle.
This was proven in the Opening Exercise.
Lesson 5

Examples 1 and 2

following theorem can be developed:
THEOREM: The measure of a central angle is twice the measure of any inscribed
angle that intercepts the same arc as the central angle.
Case 2: The vertex of the central angle lies in the interior of the inscribed angle.
Case 3: The vertex of the central angle lies in the exterior of the inscribed angle.

Lesson 6

angles that intercept the same arc, so both angles have the same measure, .
Lesson 6

Using substitution, . However since , this is a contradiction, so cannot lie
outside the circle.
Lesson 6

Next let’s consider the case where lies in the interior of the circle.
Extend and marks its intersection with the circle . Angles and are both
inscribed angles that intercept the same arc, so their measures are equal, .
Lesson 6

In triangle , angle has degree measure . Using the exterior angle theorem, .
Using substitution, . However since , this is a contradiction, so cannot lie in the
circle.
Since cannot lie outside the circle, nor can it lie inside the circle, must lie on the
circle, and thus, the theorem is proved.

Lesson 8

Lesson 9: Arc Length and Area of Sectors

• When students are provided with the angle measure of the arc and the
length of the radius of the circle, they understand how to determine the
length of an arc and the area of a sector.
ARC: An arc is any of the following three figures—a minor arc, a major arc, or a semicircle.
LENGTH OF AN ARC: The length of an arc is the circular distance around the arc.
MINOR AND MAJOR ARC: In a circle with center O, let A and B be different points that lie on the circle but are
not the endpoints of a diameter. The minor arc between A and B is the set containing A, B, and all points of
the circle that are in the interior of ∠AOB. The major arc is the set containing A, B, and all points of the
circle that lie in the exterior of ∠AOB.
RADIAN: A radian is the measure of the central angle of a sector of a circle with arc length of one radius
length.
SECTOR: Let AB be an arc of a circle with center O and radius r. The union of the segments OP, where P is
any point on the AB, is called a sector. AB is called the arc of the sector, and r is called its radius.
SEMICIRCLE: In a circle, let A and B be the endpoints of a diameter. A semicircle is the set containing A, B, and
all points of the circle that lie in a given half-plane of the line determined by the diameter.

Key Themes of Module 5: Circles With and Without

Coordinates
• Many skills and concepts learned in previous modules have been revisited.
• Circles bring about a wealth of new and interesting geometric relationships
among figures such as angles, segments, and inscribed polygons.
• These relationships are rooted in two intersecting lines and the different
cases in which those lines intersect a circle.
• Thales’ theorem provides a necessary entry point to unveil these vast
relationships.
• Once established on the plane, the circle itself and its relationships can be
examined algebraically under coordinate systems.
• These relationships, together with other previously studied skills, can help
us to recognize and prove even greater relationships such as Ptolemy’s
theorem.

Biggest Takeaway
• What is your biggest takeaway with respect to Module
5?
• How can you support successful implementation at your

school/s given your role?
