[b]Definition:[/b][br][br]An [b][color=#c51414]ISOSCELES TRIANGLE[/color][/b] is a triangle that has [b][color=#c51414]AT LEAST 1 PAIR OF CONGRUENT SIDES[/color][/b]. [br][br][b]Directions:[/b][br][br]1) Click on the [color=#c51414]red checkbox[/color] to illustrate this definition. [br]2) Move any 1 (or more) of the vertices of this triangle around. Does it remain isosceles?[br]3) Click on checkbox 2. Move the vertices of the triangle around again. What do you notice? [br]4) Click on checkbox 3. This will draw the line that bisects the vertex angle of the isosceles triangle.[br]5) Click on checkbox 4. What else do you notice? [br][br]6) Please answer the questions that appear below this applet.
