CCSS.Math.Content.HSG.C.A.1
Prove that all circles are similar.
Prove that all circles are similar.
CCSS.Math.Content.HSG.C.A.2
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.

Find arc lengths and areas of sectors of circles
CCSS.Math.Content.HSG.C.B.5
Derive using similarity the fact that the length of the arc intercepted by an angle is proportional to the radius, and define the radian measure of the angle as the constant of proportionality; derive the formula for the area of a sector.
