        AB = AC

        AD
        DE
        EC
        BC
    Find the measure of angle A.

    Some Thoughts re(2): A new theory : Back to Square 1 | Comment 13 of 59 |
    (In reply to re: A new theory by levik)

    That is exactly how I proceeded earlier. The problem now is, I can't reproduce my work. When I follow the same steps, I don't get the solution A = 60° Instead I get the tautology A = A I must have made an arithmetic error earlier.

    Taking a hint from Vohonam's latest maybe I'll try analytic algebra (placing the triangle on the Cartesian Plane) in the morning.
