In this assignment, you are to construct a triangle that is similar to a given triangle. Two triangles are similar if they have the same angles.
Construct a triangle A*B*C*,
similar to ABC as follows.
First we measure the angles. Select the Angle tool. Click on BAC and ABC.
To see the sizes of each angle:
Right click on the angle to open the "Edit Angle" dialog box.
Click on the "show object values" icon to enable the size display.
Now we copy the angles. Select the "Angle with fixed size" tool . Click on B*, A* and then
somewhere close to C*. The "Edit Angle" dialog box will open.
Click
the "Set size" button (bottom left of the dialog box). The dialog box
closes. Then click on the angle at A. This will set the angle
<B*A*C* to have the same size as the angle at A.
Construct a triangle A*B*C*,

. Click on B*, A* and then
somewhere close to C*. The "Edit Angle" dialog box will open.
