This example visually demonstrates the triangle angle sum theorem by rotating one angle of a triangle to its opposite side. It involves core concepts like triangles, angles, rotation transformations, and the angle sum theorem. The construction uses commands and objects such as Segment, Polygon, Angle, Midpoint, and Rotate in GeoGebra. Suitable for middle school and above mathematics education to help students understand and memorize the theorem.
