Circle Geometry Conjecture: a mathematical statement that appears likely to be true, based on your observations, but has not been proven
Conjectures about ARCs & ANGLES… 3. The measure of a central angle equals the measure of its corresponding minor arc
Conjectures about ARCs & ANGLES… 4. The measure of a central angle is 360o minus the measure of the major arc with the same endpoints as the central angle
Conjectures about ARCs & ANGLES… 5. The measure of an inscribed angle in a circle equals half of the measurement of the arc it intercepts (or the central angle) central angle inscribed angle
Conjectures about ARCs & ANGLES… 6. All inscribed angles that intercept the same arc will have the same measurement arc CB
Conjectures about ARCs & ANGLES… 7. If an inscribed angle intercepts a semicircle, then it has a measure of 90o
Conjectures about CHORDS… 1. The perpendicular bisector of a chord will pass through the centre of the circle
Conjectures about CHORDS… 2. Congruent chords in a circle are equal distance from the center of the circle
Conjectures about TANGENTS… 8. When a tangent line and a radius intersect at the point of tangency, the two lines will be perpendicular point of tangency radius tangent line
Conjectures about TANGENTS… 9. If two tangent segments intersect outside a circle, then the tangent segments have equal measures
