Discovering the Circumcenter and Centroid of a Triangle
The students will find the circumcenter by constructing perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle. They will also find the centroid by constructing the medians of a triangle and discover that the centroid is 2/3 of the distance from each vertex along each median.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/discovering-the-circumcenter-and-centroid-of-a-triangle
Possible Lengths of Sides of Triangles
The first problem in this activity has students explore the varying length of the third side of a triangle when 2 sides are given. They will discover that the length of the third side must be between the difference and the sum of the other 2 sides. The second problem extends this idea of the le...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/possible-lengths-of-sides-of-triangles
Constructing a Pentagon, An Alternative Method
