Isosceles Triangle Exp: Ex. 5A

DIRECTIONS:
1) Use the CIRCLE WITH CENTER THROUGH POINT [icon]/images/ggb/toolbar/mode_circle2.png[/icon] tool to construct a circle with center [i]A[/i] that [br] passes through [i]B[/i]. [br][br]2) Select the POINT ON OBJECT [icon]/images/ggb/toolbar/mode_pointonobject.png[/icon] tool. With this tool selected, touch the circle in 2 different spots [br] to plot two different points, [i]C[/i] and [i]D[/i], on the circle itself. [br][br]3) Use the POLYGON [icon]/images/ggb/toolbar/mode_polygon.png[/icon] tool to construct the triangle [i]ACD[/i]. [br] How would you classify this triangle by its sides? Why is this? [br][br]4) Select the MOVE [icon]/images/ggb/toolbar/mode_move.png[/icon] tool. Now select the style bar in the upper right corner. (The style bar has a circle and triangle icon on it). Select the "[b]Aa[/b]" icon. Check "[b]Value[/b]" to show the length of this segment. [br] Repeat this action for the other 2 sides as well. [br][br]5) Use the ANGLE [icon]/images/ggb/toolbar/mode_angle.png[/icon] tool to find and display the measures of all 3 angles of this triangle.
6)
What do you notice? (Be sure to select the MOVE tool again and move all 4 points around!) [br]
