Miller, Leslie H.; Waits, Bert K. – Mathematics Teacher, 1974
Beginning with a construction problem admitting a classical solution, the authors provide other solutions based on algorithmic estimation and transformational geometry. The latter methods are generalized to suggest solutions to other problems; hints to these solutions are provided. Teacher-student discussion could lead in many directions. (SD)
