standard_description: Use geometric descriptions of rigid motions to transform figures and to predict the effect of a given rigid motion on a given figure; given two figures, use the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions to decide if they are congruent.
problem_activity: Task
Suppose $\overline{AB}$ is a diameter of a circle and $C$ is a point on the circle different from $A$ and $B$ as in the picture below:
[IMG]
Show that triangles $COB$ and $COA$ are both isosceles triangles.
Use part (a) and the fact that the sum of the angles in triangle $ABC$ is $180$ degrees to show that angle $C$ is a right angle.
