Angles on a Clock
When I was looking at my clock I noticed that not only could I find the angles made by radii of the triangles but also secants using the theorems in chapter 9. By theorem 9-4 I determined that the measure of angle BCD was equal to the measure of arc BD. From that I was able to use theorem 9-7 to prove the measure of angle BAD is equal to half of arc BD. Therefore the measure of angle BAD is equal to half of the measure of angle BCD. (~AL1)
