Directions: Watch the video on Central and Inscribed Angles (only the first 2 minutes). The video gave you an example of
real life application (a clock) and relate to circles and it parts. In a group of 3 or 4, discuss and design 2 examples of real
life application of circles and then identify its part (chords, radius, inscribed angle, central angles, and diameter.
(Note: Please draw and label its part)
