Creating
and Using GSP Script tools
(Assignment 5)
by
Cara Haskins, Matt Tumlin, and
Robin Kirkham
This is an examination of the personal
library of GSP script tools for doing constructions you might use several
times. This is an efficient way to
organize and store your work. For example: using a script tool to construct the
circumcircle 4 times makes more sense than repeating the construction 4 times
over from scratch on the same figure. Thus the reason to utilize the script
tool provided within GSP.
The following is a list of the script
created and the link to the actual TOOLS:
1. Centroid.
2. Orthocenter.
5. Incenter.
6. Incircle.
8. Orthocenter,
Mid-segment triangle.
10. Pedal
triangle.
11. Center of Nine point circle.
13. Trisecting a
line segment.
14. Equilateral
triangle, given a side.
16. Isosceles
triangle, given base and altitude.
17. Triangle
Centers (H, G, C, and I).
18. Triangle centers
With Euler line.
19. Locus
of vertex of a fixed angle that subtends a fixed segment.
20. Divide a
segment AB into two parts that form the golden ratio.
21. Pentagon,
given the radius.
