Online Geometry Problem 1 with ThingLink: Triangle, Angles, Midpoint, Congruence, 45 Degrees, Auxiliary Construction. Level: High School, Honors Geometry, College, Mathematics Education

In a triangle ABC, median BD is such that angles A and DBC are equal. If angle ADB is 45 degrees, prove that the measure of angle A is 30 degrees. Try to use elementary geometry (Euclid's Elements.)

Geometry problem solving is one of the most challenging skills for students to learn. When a problem requires auxiliary construction, the difficulty of the problem increases drastically, perhaps because deciding which construction to make is an ill-structured problem. By “construction,” we mean adding geometric figures (points, lines, planes) to a problem figure that wasn’t mentioned as "given."
