Lesson 2: Half a Square

  • Drawing the diagonals of a square decomposes the square into 2 congruent triangles\

  • They are right isosceles triangles with acute angles of 45 degrees

  • These congruent angles make all right isosceles triangles similar by the Angle-Angle Triangle Similarity Theorem
