Benacka, Jan – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2012
In some secondary mathematics curricula, there is a topic called Stereometry that deals with investigating the position and finding the intersection, angle, and distance of lines and planes defined within a prism or pyramid. Coordinate system is not used. The metric tasks are solved using Pythagoras' theorem, trigonometric functions, and sine and…

Poole, Robert R. – Math Teacher, 1970
Reports a proof of a classical geometry problem. The proposition is - In any triangle there are two equal sides, if the angles opposite these sides have angle bisectors with equal lengths. (RP)

Callagy, J. J. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1971
This article shows how simple instruments may be used to construct angles of certain measures and applies this procedure to more detailed problems. A proof of the Pythagorean Theorem is given using these procedures. (CT)

Yates, Robert C. – 1971
This book, photographically reproduced from its original 1942 edition, is an extended essay on one of the three problems of the ancients. The first chapter reduces the problem of trisecting an angle to the solution of a cubic equation, shows that straightedge and compasses constructions can only give lengths of a certain form, and then proves that…
