Problem: Article: To use this method, you need to know the length of the base, or you need to be provided with a line segment that represents the base. You also need to know the measurement of the two angles adjacent to the base. Remember that the two angles adjacent to the base of an isosceles triangle will be equal. For example, you might know that an isosceles triangle has a base measuring 9 cm, with two adjacent 45-degree angles. If you know the measurement of the base, use a ruler to draw it the appropriate length. Make sure to measure exactly, and to create a straight line. You can also draw the base by setting the compass to the same width as a provided line segment. Draw an endpoint. Make the other endpoint using the compass. Then use a straightedge to connect the two endpoints. Use a protractor to draw the angle on the left side of the base. The vector should pass a little more than halfway over the base, so that it will intersect with the other side of the triangle.
Summary: Assess what you know. Draw the base. Draw the first angle.

. If you're going to be debating in a formal setting, such as for a class or for a club, you'll want to be sure you know how a debate actually works. Formal debates follow a formula, and you'll want to know that formula like the back of your hand so that you're prepared. It's also important because breaking from the formula can lose you points. Usually there is a statement and two or more teams or single debaters will be assigned to either agree or disagree with the idea. You'll then take turns making your points according to a set period of time. There are a couple of different debate styles (which determine the rules and how the debate works), so you'll need to know which one you're using in order to be clear on the rules. It's a good idea to look into this well in advance and do some research online. Look for words like "competitive debate", "Parliamentary debate", or "Oxford debate". These are some of the styles of debate you might encounter. When you debate, stay calm. Don't start shouting or get angry. This will show weakness to your opponent. Instead, keep your voice even and keep your facial expression neutral. This makes it much harder for your opponent to find what buttons they can press to make you trip up. If you're having trouble staying calm, try focusing on your breathing for a minute or two. When you talk, speak clearly so that people can understand you. Speaking clearly also makes you sound smarter and more confident. Speak clearly by using a loud enough volume that people can hear you and then enunciate your words. Don't mumble or slur your words but say each word deliberately and say each syllable carefully. It's easy to catch poor enunciation when reciting tongue twisters. Try this one: "How can a clam cram in a clean cream can?" When you explain to someone how you arrived at the conclusion that you came to, deliberately and step by step, you're forcing their brain to think in the same way that yours does. As long as your reasoning is at least good on the surface, this can be one of the most effective ways to bring someone over to your side of the argument. When you argue with someone, be respectful. Don't insult them, talk over them, or judge them. Doing this can be seen as a sign that your argument isn't very good, plus it makes people defensive and much less willing to listen to you or want to agree with you. You should also be fair in an argument. Don't distort the facts. Use evidence against them that is recent and directly related, not old and "water under the bridge". A bad example of debating would look like: "Why should we listen to you? You broke the system last year when you were in charge of the project. You'd probably just ruin this too." A good example of debating would look like: "I know you're really excited about this project but the situation is very sensitive. It would be better to use someone with more experience so that it can be done more efficiently." Although you don't have to actually be confident, acting confident can make you and your argument much more appealing and believable. When you don't act confident, you communicate (even if it's not true) that you don't think your argument is a very good one. You can do some simple, easy things to make yourself appear more confident, though. Make eye contact with your opponent, as well as people in your audience if you have one. Don't fidget, instead using your hands to talk or keep them pinned in front of you. Speak clearly and with purpose, avoiding filler language like "umm" and "ahh". Just a few adjustments will have you seeming much more sure of yourself.
