Summary

The handout intro of angle-basics-1 states triangles will be drawn with vertex A at the top — the international/olympiad convention. Two figures violated this:

  • angles-isosceles-right-triangle: now reoriented so A is the top apex with the right angle pointing down, and B/C are the base corners (legs |AB|=|AC| preserved, 45° marks at B and C). Prose untouched — it only refers to vertices abstractly.
  • angles-90-60-30: A↔C label swap with identical geometry. A is now the equilateral apex on top; C is the bottom-middle right-angle vertex; B and B' flank C on the base. The cs/sk/en proof body gets the same mechanical A↔C swap — including the Thales remark, which now correctly names AB as the hypotenuse.

The cs/sk/en handout JSONs are regenerated to match.

Sibling 3rd figure that the same audit identified — angles-sas-proof — is left as-is on purpose: putting A at the apex there would have meant rewriting the SAS-construction proof to start from B instead of A, which felt less natural than the current "construct from vertex A" framing.

The "or miss entirely" alternative conflated Ssu's actual failure mode
(non-uniqueness via two solutions) with simple data inconsistency. The
two-solutions case alone is what shows the b > a hypothesis is essential.

Forward direction now also mentions the projection-of-A choice of M
(Ssu, right angle opposite the hypotenuse) and the angle-bisector
choice (sus), in addition to the existing midpoint+sss proof. Inverse
direction adds the angle-bisector variant (usu again) and a brief note
that midpoint doesn't help here because the angle would land opposite
the potentially shorter AM. Applied across cs, en, sk.

The handout intro promises triangles will be drawn with vertex A at the top.
The isosceles right triangle is reoriented so A is the top apex with the
right angle pointing down. The 30-60-90 figure gets an A↔C label swap
(geometry unchanged) so A sits at the equilateral apex; the proof in cs/sk/en
is mechanically re-labeled to match, including the Thales remark on the
hypotenuse AB.
