standard_description: Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.

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.
