TI-84 Plus CE: Drawing an Isosceles Triangle

TI-84 Plus CE:  Drawing an Isosceles Triangle

Introduction

The program ISOTRI draws an isosceles triangle given the following:

The coordinates of the vertex (F,G). 

The length R, which is the length of the line segments from (F,G) to (A,B) and (F,G) to (C,D). 

The tilt angle, T, the tilt of the triangle.  The counterclockwise convention is used. 

The angle, θ,  between the line segments connecting (F,G) to (A,B) and (F,G) to (C,D). 

TI-84 Plus CE Program:  ISOTRI
(Version 5.3 or later required to use the string commands)

Note:  The degree angle inserted in the calculations allows for user to enter angles in degrees, regardless of calculator setting.
