Triangles in Circles
Can you find triangles on a 9-point circle? Can you work out their angles?
Can you find triangles on a 9-point circle? Can you work out their angles?
Draw some stars and measure the angles at their points. Can you find and prove a result about their sum?
Interior angles can help us to work out which polygons will tessellate. Can we use similar ideas to predict which polygons combine to create semi-regular solids?
Semi-regular tessellations combine two or more different regular polygons to fill the plane. Can you find all the semi-regular tessellations?
Draw some quadrilaterals on a 9-point circle and work out the angles. Is there a theorem?
Is it possible to find the angles in this rather special isosceles triangle?
Given an equilateral triangle inside an isosceles triangle, can you find a relationship between the angles?
An equilateral triangle rotates around regular polygons and produces an outline like a flower. What are the perimeters of the different flowers?
