Animated Math Clip Art--Triangles--Isosceles Triangle Construction

This animated math clip art demonstrates how to construct an isosceles triangle using a compass and straightedge. Starting with a base segment, the animation shows how to draw arcs of equal radius from each endpoint to locate the third vertex, resulting in a triangle with two congruent sides and two equal base angles. This clip is ideal for reinforcing triangle classification and geometric construction techniques aligned to Common Core geometry standards. The visual step-by-step process strengthens understanding of symmetry and the properties of isosceles triangles.
