Copy of Isosceles Triangle Exp: Ex. 5A
DIRECTIONS:
1) Use the CIRCLE WITH CENTER THROUGH POINT  tool to construct a circle with center A that 
    passes through B.  
2) Select the POINT ON OBJECT
 tool to construct a circle with center A that 
    passes through B.  
2) Select the POINT ON OBJECT  tool.  With this tool selected, touch the circle in 2 different spots 
   to plot two different points, C and D, on the circle itself. 
3) Use the POLYGON
 tool.  With this tool selected, touch the circle in 2 different spots 
   to plot two different points, C and D, on the circle itself. 
3) Use the POLYGON  tool to construct the triangle ACD.  
    How would you classify this triangle by its sides?  Why is this?  
4) Select the MOVE
 tool to construct the triangle ACD.  
    How would you classify this triangle by its sides?  Why is this?  
4) Select the MOVE  tool.  Now touch one blue segment that serves as a side of this triangle. 
    In the style bar that appears, select the "Aa" icon. Check "Value" to show the length of this segment. 
    Repeat this action for the other 2 sides as well.  
5) Use the ANGLE
 tool.  Now touch one blue segment that serves as a side of this triangle. 
    In the style bar that appears, select the "Aa" icon. Check "Value" to show the length of this segment. 
    Repeat this action for the other 2 sides as well.  
5) Use the ANGLE  tool to find and display the measures of all 3 angles of this triangle.
