standard_description: Identify and describe relationships among inscribed angles, radii, and chords. Include the relationship between central, inscribed, and circumscribed angles; inscribed angles on a diameter are right angles; the radius of a circle is perpendicular to the tangent where the radius intersects the circle.
problem_activity: A family has a house on a plot of land and would like to build an addition. The map below shows the “footprint” of the original house, the proposed addition, and the family’s plot of land. Each grid line represents 10 linear feet.
[IMG]
The family’s plot of land is rectangular. What are the values of the missing coordinates,
$$x$$
and
$$y$$
?
What is the ratio of the proposed addition “footprint” area to the original house “footprint” area?
What is the area of land that will not have a building on it if the proposed addition is approved and built?
Prove that the proposed addition “footprint” is a right triangle.
