Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone enjoys there Thankgiving break. When we get back we will get into what everyone can't wait for...........CIRCLE PROOFS! While you are sitting home over this short break...try this extra credit problem.

The Set Up - You are an archeologist, and during a dig your team uncovers a rare artifact from an ancient civilization. It looks to be a dish or round pottery of some kind, but it is broken. Information on this piece could lead to uncovering clues about how these ancient people lived.

The Problem - Using your knowledge of locus theorems and constructions, you must figure out how to find the dimensions (radius, circumference, etc...) of this ancient dish. In order to do this, you must find out where the center of the dish is.

The Solution - Write a brief explanation, including a sketch, of the steps that would be necessary to find the center of this dish, and thus, the dimensions. GOOD LUCK!
