What Went Well (WWW)

I selected the correct geometric fact, theorem, formula or transformation and used a clear diagram with appropriate labels and units.

Even Better If (EBI)

I will name the fact or theorem, show the substitution or construction step and check whether the size, direction and units of the result are reasonable.
