For problems #1-9 below, you are to investigate the problem and report the following:
1. Area of a Triangle hold the base constant and vary the height 2. Area of a Triangle animate the vertex opposite the base along a line parallel to the base Compare the measure of a base angle to the area of the triangle. 3. Circumference of a Circle vary the diameter 4. Distance of Orthocenter from base animate the vertex opposite the base along a line parallel to the base Compare the measure of a base angle to distance the orthocenter is from the base. 5. Pulling the Boat (Presentation Sketch in GSP) Click on show the problem to read about the relationship that you are to investigate. 6. Falling Ladder (Sample Sketch (Investigations) in GSP) The sketch teels you what to investigate. 7. Parabloa with Tangent (Sample Sketch (Investigations) in GSP) Compare the measure slope of tangent line and the x-coordinate of the point on the parabola (you'll have to figure out what to construct and measure that represents the value of the x-coordinate) 8. Shear Pythagorus (Sample Sketch (Pythagorean Theorem) in GSP) Calculate the value of c squared and compare that to the sum of the areas of the three squares constructed on each side. 9. Sine/Cosine Tracer (Sample Sketch (Trig & Conic Functions) in GSP) Measure <DAC and compare that to the value of the Sin(<DAC) 10.
