The ancient port city of Corinth in Greece allows us to explore the evolution of sailing. The shapes of sails went from rectangular to triangular. The use of right-triangle-shaped sails changed the nature of sailing. Becoming less reliant on oarsmen and being able to sail under nearly any wind conditions, the sailboat made the conquest of the seas possible. We explore the properties of right triangles that make such sails ideal. Note: The download for this resources is the Promethean Flipchart.

The Eiffel Tower includes quite a number of exposed triangular trusses. The properties of triangles are used to explore and explain the frequent use of triangular trusses in many building. In particular, isosceles and equilateral triangular trusses are explored. In addition triangle postulates and similarity are explored and analyzed.

This is the transcript for the video entitled, Desmos Geometry Exploration: Classifying Triangle by Angle. In this video tutorial triangles are classified by the types of angles that make up the triangle. Students are then shown how to construct such triangles using the Desmos geometry tools.

The Desmos geometry tools can be found at www.desmos.com/geometry. The video is available for this tutorial at this link: https://www.media4math.com/library/video-tutorial-desmos-geometry-exploration-classifying-triangles-angle. Note: The download is a PDF file.

This is the transcript for the video of same title. Video contents: In this program we explore the properties of triangle. We do this in the context of two real-world applications. In the first, we explore the triangular trusses in the Eiffel Tower and in the process learn about key properties of triangles. In the second application, we look at right-triangle-shaped sails on sail boat and why these are the ideal shape for efficient sailing.

This is the transcript for the video of same title. Video contents: The Bank of China building in Hong Kong is a dramatic example of triangular support. The notion of triangular trusses is introduced, along with the key concepts developed in the rest of the program.

In this video learn about the properties of isosceles triangles. The video includes real-world examples of isosceles triangles.

In this video tutorial learn about perimeter in the context of triangles. Several examples of calculating a perimeter are shown: whole number sides, decimal sides. Then we look at triangles one of whose sides is a variable. The resulting perimeter is an algebraic expression. Finally, explore a situation where the perimeter is known but one of the side lengths is a variable. This results in an equation that can be solved for the variable.

In this video explore the relationship between slope and similar triangles.
