Triangle Dissection Puzzle
2020-10-24 04:04
This applet demonstrates triangle dissection and reassembly. By constructing midpoints, circles, rays, segments, and orthogonal lines, the triangle is divided into parts. Using rotations, it shows how to rearrange these pieces into new polygons. It helps understand triangle properties, area conservation, and transformations, ideal for exploring geometric constructions.
