Outcome
s:

Use direct and indirect measurement to solve problems.

1. 1. Solve problems and justify the solution strategy, using the following
circle properties:
the perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the
chord
the measure of the central angle is equal to twice the measure of
the inscribed angle subtended by the same arc
the inscribed angles subtended by the same arc are congruent
a tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of
tangency.
