Use the buttons in the app below to explore the construction step by step and find out an unexpected result![br][br]Can you prove this property?
You can actually prove this result in different ways. [br]One way could be by using triangles metric properties, so trigonometry rules, but it involves a lot of calculations.[br][br]Here we will focus on the geometric properties of the objects and geometric transformations.[br]Use the slider in the app below and observe what happens.[br][br]Think about the formula you use to calculate the area of a triangle, and use the geometric objects that are congruent to the given ones after the transformation.
