Additional Chapter Assignment Info
Create a problem similar to 10-17 (but more challenging / in-depth!). Your drawing should be done approximately to scale. The problem should involve at minimum:
- one circle
- one triangle
- an inscribed quadrilateral
- one set of parallel lines
- central angles, inscribed angles, chord-chord angles and angles outside the circle.
This should result in several angles and arcs to find. Try to create a problem where students can find all angles and arcs starting with the least amount of information possible. Your final product should include the problem statement and a separate solution (each answer must have a brief reason to explain where it came from). Please put your solution in the form of a copy of the problem with the values filled in. Be sure to check your work to ensure that there are no contradictions which arise (such as a triangle with more than 180 degrees or a total degrees around your circle exceeding 360!) You may work alone or in pairs on this. Remember that presentation is 1/3 of your grade! Extra credit will be awarded if you do this completely on the computer (using Word or PowerPoint) and submit it electronically.
