    There are 7 isosceles triangles in the circle. 40 degrees is given as one angle. Using properties of angles in circles and cyclic quadrilaterals, the question determines that the other angles are 40 degrees, 10 degrees, 40 degrees, 10 degrees, 40 degrees. The extension question replaces the 40 degrees with x degrees, and uses similar reasoning to determine the other angles as x degrees, 90-2x degrees, 90-2x degrees, x degrees, x degrees, 180-2x degrees, 180-2x degrees, x degrees, x degrees.

    1) How many isosceles triangles can you find in this circle?

    2) How many of the other angles can you determine?

    40

    Ext: Repeat (2) with x instead of 40

    Solution

    How many angles can you determine?


    Extension:

    40

    What do you notice?

    Solution
    50 50

    40 10 40

    80 80 100

    40 10 40

    x 90-2x

    90-x 90-x

    100

    90-2x x 2x 2x

    180-2x 180 - 2x

    40 40

    x x

    => Angle in a semi-circle is always 90 => Angle at centre is always double angle at the circumference => Opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral always add up to 180
