6-1. Circles can be folded to create many different shapes. Today, you will work with a circle and use properties of other shapes to develop a three-dimensional shape. Be sure to have reasons for each conclusion you make as you work. Start by drawing a large circle on paper with a compass and cutting it out. a. Fold the circle in half to create a crease that goes through the center of the circle. Unfold the circle and then fold it in half again to create a new crease that is perpendicular to the first crease. Unfold your paper back to the full circle, what is another name for the line segment represented by each crease? Explain why. b. On the circle, label the endpoints of one diameter A and B. Fold the circle so that point A touches the center of the circle and create a new crease. Then label the endpoints of this new crease C and D. What appears to be the relationship between segments AB and CD? Is CD a diameter? (why or why not). What is CD called? C A B D c. Now fold the circle twice to form creases BC and BD and use scissors to cut out ΔBCD. What type of triangle is ΔBCD? How can you be sure? Explain your reasoning.
d. Your equilateral triangle ΔBCD should now be flat (also called twodimensional). Two-dimensional shapes have length and width, but not depth (or thickness ). If you cut the labels off when creating your equilateral triangle, label the vertices of ΔBCD again. Then, with the unmarked side of the triangle facedown, fold and crease the triangle so that B touches the midpoint of CD. Keep it in the folded position. What does the resulting shape appear to be? What smaller shapes do you see inside the larger shape? Justify that your ideas are correct. fold e. Open your shape again so that you have the large equilateral triangle in front of you. How does the length of a side of the large triangle compare to the length of the side of the small triangle formed by the crease? How many of the small triangles would fit inside the large triangle? In what ways are the small and large triangles related? f. Repeat the fold in part (d) so that C touches the midpoint of BD. Unfold the triangle and fold again so that D touches the midpoint of BC. Create a three-dimensional shape by bringing points B, C, and D together. A three-dimensional shape has length, width, and depth. Use tape to hold your shape together. g. Three-dimensional shapes formed with polygons have faces and edges, as well as vertices (plural of vertex). Faces are the flat surfaces of the shape, while edges are the line segments formed when two faces meet. Vertices are the points where edges intersect. How many faces, edges, and vertices does your three-dimensional shape have?
6-2. Consider all the ways a circle and a line can intersect. Can you visualize a line and a circle that intersect at exactly one point? What about a line that intersects a circle twice? On your paper, draw a diagram for each of the situations below, if possible. If it is not possible, explain why. a. Draw a line and a circle that do not intersect. b. Draw a line and a circle that intersect at exactly one point. When this happens, the line is called a tangent. c. Draw a line and a circle that intersect at exactly two points. A line that intersects a circle twice is called a secant. d. Draw a line and a circle that intersect three times. 6-3. A line that intersects a circle exactly once is called a tangent. What is the relationship of a tangent to a circle? To investigate this question, carefully copy the diagram showing line l tangent to A below onto your paper. Fold the paper so that the crease is perpendicular to line l through point P. Your crease should pass through point C. What does this tell you about the tangent line? 6-4. Use the relationships in the diagram below to answer the following question. Be sure to name what relationship you used. PQ is tangent to C at P. If PQ = 5 and CQ = 6, find CP, m C, and m PQC. ex 6-4 ex 6-5 6-5. In the figure above, EX is tangent to O at point X. OE = 20 cm and XE = 15 cm. Find OX and EN.
6-6. Ventura began to think about perpendicularity in a circle. He wondered, If a radius is perpendicular to a line at a point on the circle, how do we know if that the line is a secant or a tangent?. a. Miguel says, Let s assume the line perpendicular to the radius is a secant. On your paper, draw a diagram, like the one below, with C and a secant. Label the points where the secant intersects the circle A and B. Since Ventura s question assumes that the line is perpendicular to a radius, assume that AB is perpendicular to CA at A. b. Ventura adds I think ΔCAB is isosceles. Do you agree? Explain how you know. c. Sandra chimes in with, Then CBA must be a right angle too. Ventura quickly adds, But that s impossible! What do you think? Give reasons to support your conclusions. d. Explain to Ventura what this contradiction reveals about the line perpendicular to the radius of a circle at a point on the circle. 6-7. In the diagram below, M has radius 14 feet and A has radius 8 feet. ER is tangent to both M and A. If NC = 17 feet, find ER. Copy the diagram. a. First find the length of MA. Then subtract the radii to get MB. b. Use Pythagorean theorem to get AB. Why is ER = AB? Explain.

6-15.The baobab tree is a species of tree found in Africa and Australia. It is often referred to as the world s widest tree because it is up to 45 feet in diameter. A B While digging at an archeological site, Rafi found a fragment of a fossilized baobab tree that appears to be wider than any tree on record! However, since he does not have the remains of the entire tree, he cannot simply measure across the tree to find its diameter. Assume that the shape of the tree s cross-section is a circle. The arc AB above is a scaled representation of Rafi s tree fragment. a. Trace this arc as neatly as possible on paper. One way to find the center of a circle when given an arc is to fold it so that the two ends of the arc coincide (lie on top of each other). If you fold AB so that A lies on B, what is the relationship between the resulting crease and the arc AB? Explain how you know. A B b. Now fold point A to where the crease bisects AB. The two creases will intersect at the center of the circle. Sketch the complete circular cross-section of the tree. A B c.
