How Many Ways Can You Construct an Isosceles Triangle?

Sketch 1- Construct circle, construct 2 points on circle, form 2 radii, form segment between 2 points on circle.

Sketch 2- construct circle 1, construct another intersecting circle by center point, construct point of intersection, construct segment between 2 center points and connect center points to point of intersection.

Sketch 3- construct circle with two radii, construct tangents to radii, construct point of intersection, construct segment between points of tangency.

Sketch 4- Construct segment, highlight and rotate by 45 degrees, connect endpoints of segments.

Sketch 5- Construct right triangle, hgihlight one leg as mirror, highlight the rest of the trianle and reflect.

Sketch 6- construct 2 paralel segments and construct midpoint of bottom line. Construct a perp. line and construct point of intersection, and connect it to endpoints of bottom line.

Sketch 7- Construct 2 circles intersecting at center points, connect center points, construct 2 perp. lines to endpoints of the centers and construct their points of intersection to the circle, hide lines, connect points of intersection and form a square, construct a diagonal.
