Inscribed Angle Theorem and Its Applications

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Inscribed angles are central to the lesson. Young mathematicians build upon concepts learned in the previous lesson and formalize the Inscribed Angle Theorem relating inscribed and central angles. The lesson then guides learners to prove the theorem for different cases.
