Incenter Exploration (A)

Recall that 3 or more lines are said to be concurrent if and only if they intersect at exactly one point. The angle bisectors of a triangle's 3 interior angles are all concurrent. Their point of concurrency is called the INCENTER of the triangle. In the applet below, point I is the triangle's INCENTER. Use the tools of GeoGebra in the applet below to complete the activity below the applet. Be sure to answer each question fully as you proceed.

Directions:

1) In the applet above construct a line passing through I and is perpendicular to AB. 2) Use the Intersect tool to plot and label a point G where the line you constructed in (1) intersects AB. 3) Construct a line that passes through I and is perpendicular to BC. 4) Plot and label a point H where the line you constructed in (3) intersects BC. 5) Construct a line that passes through I and is perpendicular to AC. 6) Plot and label a point J where the line you constructed in (5) intersects AC. 7) Now, use the Distance tool to measure and display the lengths IG, IH, and IJ. What do you notice? 8) Experiment a bit by moving any one (or more) of the triangle's vertices around Does your initial observation in (7) still hold true? Why is this? (If you need a hint, refer back to the worksheet found here.

9) Construct a circle centered at I that passes through G. What else do you notice? Experiment by moving any one (or more) of the triangle's vertices around. This circle is said to be the triangle's incircle, or inscribed circle. It is the largest possible circle one can draw inside this triangle. Why, according to your results from (7) is this possible? 10) Do the angle bisectors of a triangle's interior angles also bisect the sides opposite theses angles? Use the Distance tool to help you answer this question. 11) Is it ever possible for a triangle's INCENTER to lie OUTSIDE the triangle? If so, under what condition(s) will this occur? 12) Is it ever possible for a triangle's INCENTER to lie ON the triangle itself? If so, under what condition(s) will this occur?

3 Special Points!

Recall the following: 1) The lines that contain a triangle's 3 altitudes are concurrent (intersect at exactly one point.) This point of concurrency is called the orthocenter of the triangle. 2) A triangle's 3 perpendicular bisectors are concurrent at a point called the circumcenter of the triangle. 3) A triangle's 3 medians are concurrent at a point called the centroid of the triangle. Interact with the applet below for a few minutes. Then answer the discussion questions that follow.

Questions: 1) What conclusion can you make about the positioning of a triangle's orthocenter, circumcenter, and centroid? Explain how you can use the toolbar to illustrate this. 2) How does the sliding the slider also informally show that your response to (1) is true? 3) Let's denote the orthocenter as O, the circumcenter as C, and the centroid as G. What is the exact value of the ratio CG/CO? What is the exact value of the ratio CG/GO? 4) Prove your assertion for (1) true using a coordinate geometry format. For simplicity's sake, position the triangle so its vertices have coordinates (0,0), (6a, 0), and (6b, 6c). 5) Prove your responses to (3) are true using the same coordinate geometry setup you used in (4) above. 6) Research information about the Euler Line of a triangle. How does the Euler Line relate to the context of the above applet?

NCTM Calendar Problem (11-2-2016)

Creation of this applet was inspired by the the calendar problem (11/2/2016) that appeared in NCTM's November 2016 issue of the Mathematics Teacher magazine. "In right triangle ABC, CD is the bisector of right angle ACB, CM is the median to the hypotenuse, and CP is the altitude to the hypotenuse. Prove CD bisects angle PCM. " This applet informally illustrates what this calendar problem is asking you to prove. Can you formally prove what this applet informally illustrates?

Midsegment of a Triangle

Definition: A midsegment of a triangle is a segment that connects the midpoints of any 2 sides of that triangle. Question: How many midsegments does a triangle have? Let's proceed: In the applet below, points D and E are midpoints of 2 sides of triangle ABC. One midsegment of Triangle ABC is shown in green. Move the vertices A, B, and C of Triangle ABC around. As you do, observe the two comments off to the right side. Then, answer the questions below the applet.

Questions: 1) What do you notice about the slopes of segments DE and AB? What does this imply about these 2 segments? 2) What does the ratio of DE to AB tell us about the midsegment of any triangle? 3) If we refer to the black side of the triangle as the triangle's "3rd side", complete the following statement. Be sure to use the phrase "3rd side" in each blank below. The MIDSEGMENT of a triangle is ALWAYS i) ________________________________________________________________________, and ii) ________________________________________________________________________.
