INTRODUCTION
 In the previous theorem, you studied lines drawn
from the centre of a circle. What about angles
drawn at centre of a circle, you might be asking.
What a good question. In the following activity
you are going to investigate how angles at the
centre of a circle relate to other angles
elsewhere on the circle. But before you do that,
refresh your memories of the following terms:
 Circumference: the distance around a circle.
 Arc: a part of the distance around a circle,
normally indicated by two points. Yes, you are
right, it looks like a new moon. Work in
groups.

 ACTIVITY 1
 Draw a circle with centre O.
 Mark off two points on the circle (preferably at the
bottom part) and name them A and B.
 Mark off another point on the circle and name it C.
(At the top )
 Join A to O. Do the same with point B.
 Now join A to C. Do the same with point B.
 You now have an angle at the centre subtended by
arc AB. Can you tell which other angle is
subtended by arc AB? Where is the vertex of
this angle? At the centre? On the circle?
 measure angle at the centre. Write down the size
of the angle.

 Activity , continued....
 Again measure (angle on the circle). Write down
the size of the angle.
 Compare the two measurements.
 Now mark a point not far from C and name it E.
Join A to E. Do the same with B. You now
 have a new angle, AÊB. Measure this new angle.
How does it compare with the others?
 After comparing sizes of the above angles,
complete the following statement, using your
own words.
 The angle which an arc of a circle subtends at
______________ is _____________ the size of
the angle the same arc subtends at any point on
the circle.

 APPLICATION
write this exercise in your homework books
 The figure on the left is the gear system of
an industrial machine. The larger of the
three gears, which is in the centre, has
fifty four (54) teeth and the three
smaller gears have 27 teeth each.
 The larger gear transfers motion to the
three smaller gears.
 1.1. If the larger gear moves in the
clockwise direction, what is the direction
of rotation of the smaller gears?
 1.2. What relationship exists between the
size of the larger and smaller gears?
 1.3. If the rotational speed of the larger is
3000 r.p.m, at what speed are the
smaller gears turning?
 1.4. Where would you apply this scenario in
order to generate faster motion?
Explain in no more than ten lines.

 M

You are correct

140 °

M is half the size of the angle at the centre of the

circle.

NEXT ACTIVITY
 M

You are incorrect

140 °

The relationship between the two angles is that M is

half the size of the angle at the centre.
