Everyone construct a large isosceles triangle on a piece of paper. Cut it out Label it ARK, with K as the vertex angle Investigation
Fold the triangle so that angles A and R are touching, and angle K is bisected. Unfold and label the end of the fold line X Compare angles A and R Investigation
Theorem
Investigation How would you word the converse of the previous Theorem? Is the converse true? Investigation
Theorem
Investigation Measure KXA and KXR Compare lines AX and RX Conclusions? Investigation
Theorem
Investigation On another piece of paper Construct a large equilateral triangle (using a compass) Measure all of the angles Investigation
How could we show this as a proof, without measuring?
Proof
Corollary means that the conclusion is drawn as one more step to a previous theorem
