Introduction to Geometry
① This GeoGebra example demonstrates an isosceles triangle where the apex angle can be changed interactively while the triangle remains isosceles. ② Core math concepts include the definition and properties of isosceles triangles: equal legs, equal base angles, and the relationship between the apex angle and base angles. ③ Construction details: uses Point to define vertices, Rotate to generate symmetric points, Angle to measure angles, Line and Intersect to construct sides and intersections, and Polygon to form the triangle; objects include angles α, β, δ, ε, points A, B, C, D', E', segments a, b, c, d, e, polygon poly2, and multiple text labels. ④ Suitable for middle school geometry lessons to explore triangle properties dynamically, and as an introductory example for dynamic geometry software.

AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw an isosceles triangle with an adjustable apex angle. Start by creating points B and C on the x-axis, then rotate C around B to generate point E', and measure angle ∠CBE' as δ. Next, rotate B around C to generate point D', and measure angle ∠DCB as ε. Draw line d through B and E', and line e through C and D'. The intersection of d and e is point A, the apex of the triangle. Finally, connect points A, B, and C to form the isosceles triangle, and label the apex angle as α.
