The name derives from the Greek iso (same) and skelos (leg).

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with (at least) two equal sides. In the figure ,the two equal sides have length b and the remaining side has length a .

This property is equivalent to2 angles of the triangle being equal. An isosceles triangle therefore has both 2 equal sides and 2 equal angles.

What is SAS? SAS- (Side Angle Side) if two sides and the included side angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Technology allows the students to become more interactive in their lessons Technology skills will enhance the students motivation and willingness to explore new concepts. Work can be saved, printed and/or edited later as new concept emerge.

Teachers cannot implement The Geometer's Sketchpad in the classroom without significant changes to the curriculum Some schools will not enough computers for each student Teachers must to be careful in how they implement GSP in their classrooms

Students may view GSP more as a toy than a learning tool and thus may not gain the full benefit of the lesson can cause distractions in the classroom is the animate feature an issue of monotony
