Outcomes
In this lesson you will
- use the distance and midpoint formulas to confirm the chord properties of a circle
By the end of this section students will be able to:
- apply inductive reasoning to make conjectures in geometric situations
- develop and apply formulas for distance and midpoint
- investigate and make and prove conjectures associated with chord properties of circles
- write proofs using various axiomatic systems and assess the validity of deductive arguments
- apply properties of circles
- solve problems involving the equations and characteristics of circles and ellipses
Prerequisites
To be successful in this lesson, it would be helpful to know the following:
- chord properties from previous lessons
- distance and midpoint formulas
- solving equations
