Sherman, Brian – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2021
This article is the third in a series of activities that discusses some interesting relationships with triangles. The first article (EJ1259412) introduced the various circles and centres involved with a triangle, as well as the Euler Line (named after the famous mathematician Leonhard Euler) which passes through four of the five centres. The…

Sherman, Brian – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2020
This article is the first in a series of activities that discusses some interesting relationships with triangles. Brian Sherman shows how to find five centres for a triangle--the circumcentre, the incentre, the orthocentre, the centroid and the nine-point centre, with four of the five to be found on the Euler line. With these centres, he shows…
