It starts out relatively simple: to pass each level, you have to use basic tools of geometry—line segments, circles—to show how you can create an equilateral triangle or bisect an angle.

The Greek mathematicians were fond of compass and straightedge constructions and discovered how to bisect an angle early in the process. Here's an animation of how that is done.

In math lingo, this augmentation process is called “auxiliary construction.” Add a line, bisect an angle, draw a circle — this is how mathematicians, student or elite, tinker and try to gain ...

Summary We prove the next generalization of the Steiner-Lehmus theorem: if two equal cevians intersect with each other on the angle bisector of the third triangle vertex, then the triangle is ...

FITCHBURG — Candy Fountain Wood will never forget when Monty Tech math teacher Tom Espie asked her to come up to the board to bisect an angle, a skill she didn’t think was relevant to her life ...
