Butterfly Theorem Geometric Construction
2020-07-21 09:51
This GeoGebra applet demonstrates the classic Butterfly Theorem in Euclidean geometry. It constructs a circle with a chord PQ and its midpoint M. Two additional chords AB and CD are drawn through M. The intersections of AD and BC with PQ yield points X and Y, proving that M is also the midpoint of XY. The construction utilizes Circle, Point, Segment, Midpoint, Line, and Intersect commands to visua
