Activity Overview
Students use animation to discover that the measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of its intercepted arc, that two angles that intercept the same, or congruent, arcs are congruent, and that an angle inscribed in a semi-circle is a right angle. They then discover that the opposite angles of a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle are supplementary.
