Assignment 5A: Due Friday, 10/22

This is an exercise and not a normal assignment.

The problem:

Given a segment EF, construct a point G on EF so that EG/EF = 1/(sqrt 3) using Thales theorem (i.e., use figure 4.4 and related ideas in BG).

(Another method would be the rectangle method from Assignment 4, but use Thales for this exercise.

Suggested Method: Start with a segment AB and construct a segment CD with length = |AB| sqrt 3. Then use Thales.
