What happens here

This project demonstrates a simple and accurate method to find the center of any circle using a carpenter's square and a marker. By applying basic geometry principles, specifically the property of angles inscribed in a semicircle, two diameter-defining chords are constructed. The intersection point of these chords reveals the precise center of the circle.

What up? Let's find the center of this circle. Take your carpenter square, framing square, whatever you want to call it. Put your heel on the edge. I don't care where you put your heel, just put it on the edge of the circle, right? Trace a line on the outside of your body. The outside of your tongue, okay? Now, go ahead and connect these two lines together here. Like so. Now, you're going to do this again anywhere else on the circle. So, go ahead, we'll do it right here. Put your heel on that point. Go ahead and trace the body. Go ahead and trace the tongue. And this point right here is the center of your circle. Don't believe me, we can do it again. Uh let's go ahead and let's do down at the bottom here. Let's throw a heel down at the bottom. Body. And we'll do the tongue. Pull that off. There you have it. There's the center of our circle. Follow for more.
