Central Angle vs Inscribed Angle
2016-09-18 14:01
This interactive applet demonstrates the relationship between a central angle and an inscribed angle subtended by the same arc. By constructing a circle with a center and points on the circumference, users can drag a point to dynamically observe and verify the theorem that the central angle is always twice the inscribed angle.
