Levine, Deborah R. – Mathematics Teacher, 1983
The proof is given that, if three equilateral triangles are constructed on the sides of a right triangle, then the sum of the areas on the sides equals the area on the hypotenuse. This is based on one of the hundreds of proofs that exist for the Pythogorean theorem. (MP)

Bradley, Mark E. – Mathematics Teacher, 1980
This article, written by a high school junior, shows that there can never be more than two isosceles triangles having the same perimeter and area. (MK)

Olson, Melfried; Olson, Judith – Mathematics Teacher, 1983
The activities are designed to have students manipulate physical models of geometric figures, engage in spatial visualization and observe relationships between triangles and parallelograms and between triangles and rectangles. Worksheets designed for duplication are included in the materials and an answer key is provided. (MP)

Brotherton, Sheila; And Others – 1974
This is one of a series of geometry modules developed for use by secondary students in a laboratory setting. This module, intended to present a treatment of congruent triangles which is not totally axiomatic, contains six sections: (1) Draw vs. Construct; (2) Triangle Construction; (3) Arguing for Congruence; (4) Parallel Line Construction; (5)…

Brotherton, Sheila; And Others – 1974
This is one of a series of geometry modules developed for use by secondary students in a laboratory setting. The purpose of this module is to teach solution of proportions, concepts and theorems of triangle similarity, solution of the Pythagorean Theorem, solution of the isosceles right triangle, and concepts involving "rep-tile" figures…
