Which Triangles are Right
Students apply properties of right triangles to solve problems. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify axioms and theorems using examples.
Curated OER
Pedal Triangles
Students identify the properties and theorems of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students construct angle bisectors using a compass and straight edge. They identify triangular similarity and congruency.
