D.I.Y. Harriss Spiral

Explore the process of creating a Harriss Spiral as well as the relationships between rectangles created by the 'hrec' tool, using the animated example.

-Master the ability to make small sections of a Harriss Spiral using the instruction provided. -Pay attention to the ratio shared between a long and short side of rectangle. How does this relate to the Golden Spiral?

Projectivity and Perspectivity

This is a drawing on Geogebra of a perspectivity. In geometry, a perspectivity is the formation of an image (points on diagonal line) in a plane of a scene (points on straight line) viewed from a fixed point. The science of perspectivity uses them to make realistic images in the proper proportion. You can move any point (except F1, F2, G1, G2, I1, I2, H1, and H2) around and explore. The triangle point is the point of perspectivity, where you would be seeing the object from.

Gergonne Point

In this Geogebra sketch, a triangle is shown with a gergonne point. The gergonne point is the place where the lines from the vertices to the tangent points of the incircle intersect. The incenter point is also shown. In the sketch points A, B, and C are movable. When moving point A, B, or C the dimensions of the triangle will change along with the position of the gergonne point and the incenter.

When the triangle is an equilateral triangle the gergonne point and the incenter point are at the same possition.
