Constructing Equilateral Triangles and 60 Degree Angles

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Constructing Equilateral Triangles and 60 Degree Angles instructional video also includes:
  • Practice Questions
  • Textbook Exercise
  • Join to access all included materials

Creating a 60-degree angle also creates an equilateral triangle. By watching the video, individuals learn the steps required to construct a 60-degree angle. The presentation shows that the process is the same for constructing an equilateral triangle.
