rcs, Central and Inscribed ngles SUGGESTED LERNING STRTEGIES: Shared Reading, Summarize/Paraphrase/Retell, Visualization Chris loves to play soccer. When he was seven years old, his family enrolled him in a soccer camp so that he could begin to learn the skills required to be a good player. For two years, Chris made progress with his team, but he wanted to improve. So this year, for Chris s ninth birthday, Mr. Green, a family friend who is an experienced soccer player, volunteered to coach Chris for a few hours every weekend. During their first sessions together, Chris handled the ball well as he ran up and down the field, but he had great difficulty kicking an accurate goal. Mr. Green suggested that they focus on improving this particular skill in future sessions. t every practice, Mr. Green stands centered between the goalposts and has Chris try to kick a goal from different positions on the field. He has noticed that Chris s shots go anywhere from right on target to 15 on either side of his target. With this information, Mr. Green believes that he and Chris can find locations on the soccer field from which Chris can be sure of kicking between the goalposts. lthough his shots may then be blocked by the goalie, at least Chris will stand a better chance of making a goal. Your teacher will provide you with a diagram of part of the soccer field, the 24-foot-wide goal, and the point X at which Mr. Green plans to stand. Points and represent the goalposts, which are 24 feet apart. Chris will aim his kicks directly at Mr. Green from various points on the playing field to try to find the locations where, even with his margin of error, his shots will land between the goalposts. Your teacher will also provide you with a diagram of a 30 -angle that has a bisecting ray. The vertex S represents the point from which Chris makes his kick, the bisecting ray represents the path to the target at which Chris is aiming, and the sides of the 30 -angle form the outer boundaries of Chris s possible kicks, given that his margin of error is up to 15 on either side of the target.

The angle diagram will be used as a tool in estimating the outer boundaries of Chris s kicks when he aims at point X from various locations on the soccer field. 1. On the soccer field diagram, you will notice three points labeled Points 1, 2, and 3. These three points represent the different positions on the field from which Chris will attempt his shot at the goal. Place the vertex of your angle at Point 1 and make certain that point X lies on the angle bisector. Will Chris s shot be guaranteed to end up between the goalposts from this position on the field? Explain. 2. One at a time, place the vertex of the angle on Point 2 and then on Point 3. Each time, make certain that point X lies on the angle bisector. Determine whether Chris s shots are guaranteed to end up between the goalposts from these positions on the field. Which, if either, position, is a sure shot at the goal for Chris? 3. With experimentation, you should find that there is a region of the playing field from which Chris is certain to have a shot into the goal zone, despite his margin of error. Use the soccer field diagram and the angle diagram to test points on the field until you can make an informed conjecture as to the shape of this region. Write a description of the region. On the soccer field diagram, clearly identify at least eight points on the outer boundary of this region. 286 Springoard Mathematics with Meaning TM Geometry

The angle formed by the two radii, O, is called a central angle of this circle. In general, a central angle is an angle whose vertex is at the center of a circle and whose sides contain radii of the circle. n arc intercepted by a central angle is the minor arc that lies in the interior of the angle. Notice that the major arc associated with points and lies outside O, while the minor arc lies in the interior of O. is said to be intercepted by O. y definition, the measure of a minor arc is equal to the measure of the central angle that intercepts the minor arc. The notation for the measure of is m. The notation for a minor arc requires the endpoints of the arc,. The notation for a major arc requires a point on the arc included between the endpoints of the arc, Q. Semicircles are named as major arcs. The measure of a minor arc must be between 0 and 180. The measure of a major arc must be at least 180 and less than 360. The measure of a semicircle is 180. Unit 4 Circles and Constructions 287

In Item 3, you and your group made a conjecture about the region of the field that is determined by all of the points from where Chris is certain to make a goal. Let s see how the Inscribed ngle Measure Theorem we proved might either support your conjecture or help you to revise it. In the circle below, the inscribed angle is P and m P = 30. PX bisects P. X P 19. Place the 30 -angle diagram that you used at the beginning of the activity so that the vertex, S, is at point P and so the angle bisectors coincide. Slide S so that it is closer to X than P, keeping the angle bisectors on top of each other. Then slide S away from X, so that S is outside the circle and so that angle bisectors are still aligned. Think about locations of S from which Chris will be certain to make a shot into the goal zone. Using the circle as a point of reference, from which points along PX will Chris be certain of making a shot into the goal zone? Unit 4 Circles and Constructions 295
