6.5 Geogebra Task
- Use the polygon tool to create a triangle.
- Show the labels of the three vertices A, B, and C
- Construct the angle bisector of angle B (you must click, in order, ABC or CBA.
- Create a point at the intersection of the angle bisector and side AC
- Show the label of the point of intersection, point D.
- Hide the angle bisector.
- Create segment BD.
- Show the measure of segments AB, AD, CB, and CD.
- Start a text box and open the "Advanced" menu
- Click on "LaTeX formula" tab and choose the fraction template (a over b)
- In the text box backspace to replace the letter "a" with "AD" and "b" with "AB"
- Arrow to the right and type the "=" sign.
- In the advanced setting use the LaTeX formula tab to create another fraction.
- Arrow over and delete the letter "a".
- Then click on the Geogebra Icon tab in the Advanced settings. Find and click on "distanceAD"
- Arrow over and delete the letter "b".
- Click on the Geogebra Icon tab. Find and click on "distanceAB"
- Go to the end of the equation and type the "=" sign.
- In the Geogebra tab click on "distanceAD" - this will create an orange box with the words "distanceAD" in it.
- Click on the orange box and type the following: /distanceAB. Then hit "OK"
- Follow steps 9-20 using sides CD and CB.
- You should now have two ratios. Move either points A or C. If your ratios stay the same, you are done!
