An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the concept of triangle inequality. The applet shows a triangle where the vertices can be dragged to reshape the triangle It shows that no matter what you do, the longest side is always shorter than the sum of the other two. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate that in similar triangles, the ratio of their areas is the square of the ratio of the sides. As you drag one triangle to resize it, it remains similar to another and the ratios of sides and areas is calculated as you drag. One can be seen to be the square of the other at all times. A slight 'snap-to' effect allows easy selection of integer ratios (2:4 etc). Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

An interactive applet and associated web page that illustrate the triangles that can be drawn inside a polygon. The applet has a pentagon with the triangles drawn. The user can change the number of sides, and switch between regular / irregular. The vertices are draggable. The text on the page discusses the uses of these triangles. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.
