    1) The document describes a procedure to verify that the angle in a semi-circle is a right angle using vector methods. 2) A cardboard is marked with a circle and diameter. Rubber bands are used to represent vectors between points on the circumference and center. 3) By measuring the angles between vectors connecting points on the circumference to the center and each other, it is shown that these angles are 90 degrees, confirming angles in a semi-circle are right angles.
