The Proof
Proof.By contradictionSuppose PA 6⊥ ←−AB. Then there must be another segment, say PX, suchthat PX ⊥ ←−AB
Since PX ⊥ ←−AB, it must be the shortest distance to AB,But, X is exterior to the circle, so mPA < mPX, a contradiction.Therefore, PA ⊥ AB.

Step 11Open the right triangle up to the equilateral triangle.
Take the top corner of the big triangle and fold it along the crease ofthe height. You can match the top point up to the bottom crease line.On the inside you will now see three smaller triangles.
Turn the paper over so that you do not see the creases. What is thisshape called? trapezoid
