Activity Overview
In this activity, students will explore the Euler Line of a triangle. Students will discover that the centroid, circumcenter, and orthocenter are collinear. Students will also find that if the triangle is isosceles, then the centroid, circumcenter, incenter, and orthocenter are all collinear. Students will also look at ratios involved in the Euler line.
