Texas Instruments: Angle Sum in Triangles Proof: Rotation and a Parallel Line
This investigation uses Cabri Jr. and a cleaver rotation of a triangle to "prove" that the angles in a triangle add up to 180. This could be used to reinforce triangles and paralled lines as well as introduce the concept of rotating an...
