Name: ___________________________ Period: ________ 10.1 Investigations of Circle theorems
Investigation 1: Angles inscribed in a semi-circle
Step 1: Construct a large circle, and make a diameter with end points A and B
Step 2: Place 1 point somewhere on the arc that connects A and B. Call this point

Investigation 2: Cyclic quadrilaterals (Quadrilaterals whose vertices all lie on a circle)
Step 1: Construct 2 large circles. Place 4 points along the circumference of your
circles and connect these points with segments. Please make sure your shape is not a
rectangle or similar to any shape of your neighbors.
Step 2: Measure each of the angles inside the quadrilaterals. Write the measure of
each angle in its appropriate place.
Step 3: Carefully examine the relationships of the angles of these quadrilaterals.
Step 4: Write a summary of your findings that includes your construction, you must include conjecture
that demonstrates your findings.
Proof 1
Why is the angle inscribed in a semi-circle always a right angle?
1) O is the center of the circle. Draw a segment 𝑂𝐶.
2) What kind of triangle is ΔAOC? _____________________ label the congruent angles “x”
What kind of triangle is ΔOCB? _____________________ label the congruent angles “y”
3) Since the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°, express ∠𝐴𝑂𝐶 in terms of x and ∠𝐶𝑂𝐵 in terms of y.
∠𝐴𝑂𝐶 = _____________________ ∠𝐶𝑂𝐵 = _____________________
4) What kind of angle pair is ∠𝐴𝑂𝐶 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠𝐶𝑂𝐵 ? _____________________
Write an equation relating ∠𝐴𝑂𝐶 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠𝐶𝑂𝐵. _______________________________________
5) Use your equations in steps 3 and 4 to algebraically prove that ∠𝐶 is a right angle.

For many constructions, there is more than one way to make the construction. The important thing is
why the constructions work. Challenge yourself to find another way to make these constructions and
be able to prove why your constructions work.
DO EACH CONSTRUCTION AT LEAST 3 TIMES – more if you can find a different way
1.Construct a square inscribed in a circle
a) Use a compass to construct a circle.
b) Construct one diameter
c) Use the compass to create the perpendicular bisector
d) Connect the four outside chords of the circle.
DO EACH CONSTRUCTION AT LEAST 3 TIMES – more if you can find a different way
2. Construct a hexagon inscribed in a circle
a) Construct a circle
b) Construct a radius
c) Set the compass setting to the length of a radius
d) Using that compass setting, create 6 equal distant points around the circle.
3. Construct an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle
The construction is similar to the hexagon construction in part 2, except you
connect every other vertex to form a triangle.
Challenge: Construct a regular octagon inscribed in a circle.

winds the rope and lifts the box. Through how many rotations must you turn the crank
to lift the box 10 feet?
3. A satellite in geostationary orbit stays over the same spot above the planet Jupiter. The satellite
completes one orbit in the same time that Jupiter rotates once about its axis (9 hours and 56 minutes). If
the satellite’s orbit has radius 1.59 × 106 m, calculate the satellite’s orbital speed (In the direction of the
tangent) in meters per second.
