Angles as rotations
Angles are rotations.
Angles as rotations


Showing Alternate Angles
Move the slider to see if the angles are the same.
Change the parallel lines by moving theblue points and check the angles again.
Showing Alternate Angles


The sum of the angles in a triangle?
Move the slider GreenAngle to change the sizes of the angles.
For different shapes of triangles what do you notice about the three angles?
There are more things to try below.
The sum of the angles in a triangle?


Construction - Divide a line segment into equal parts
This applet shows how to divide a line segment into 3, 4 or 5 equal parts. Use a set square to draw the parallel lines.
Move the point C to change the angle and the slider to change the radius of the arc.
More constructions are shown here.
