Exploring Right Triangles Set
Math Forum Geometry Problem of the Week December 1st, 2008!
This set was the basis for one problem. But, you can develop several additional problems that range in difficulty from simple nomenclature to advanced geometry.
Everyone knows Pythagorean Theorem but, what happens if we replace the squares with semi-circles or regular/similar polygons other than squares? This is a thought provoking set that can launch constructions using Geometer Sketchpad to answer questions about other shapes. Ask about exploring lunes as they relate to right triangles! The CD "Problems and Puzzles..." includes activities and worksheets for use with this and other A+ Compass products. The set includes a copy of the CD.
