A web page and interactive applet illustrating the properties of a heptagon (7 sided polygon). The applet shows a heptagon where the user can drag any vertex to reshape it. User can see that the interior and exterior angles are constant in a regular heptagon, but vary in an irregular version. Controls allow the display or hiding of the diagonals, and triangles within the heptagon. The web page lists the properties of a heptagon including interior angles, exterior angles, sum of exterior angles, area, number of diagonals and number of internal triangles. Links to pages with generalized properties of all polygons. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate how Herons Formula can be used to find the area of a triangle when you know all three sides. A triangle is shown where the user can drag any vertex to reshape it. In real time while dragging, the side lengths change and the formula is recalculated on the screen. The formula can be turned off to facilitate class work. The text on the web page gives the full formula and discusses where is can be applied. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

A web page and interactive applet illustrating the properties of a hexagon (6 sided polygon). The applet shows a hexagon where the user can drag any vertex to reshape it. User can see that the interior and exterior angles are constant in a regular hexagon, but vary in an irregular version. Controls allow the display or hiding of the diagonals, and triangles within the hexagon. The web page lists the properties of a hexagon including interior angles, exterior angles, sum of exterior angles, area, number of diagonals and number of internal triangles.

An interactive applet and associated web page that show the definition of a horizontal line in coordinate geometry. The applet has two points that the user can drag which define a line. The line flagged when it is horizontal (slope=0) and the equation of the line is shown. The grid, details and coordinates can be turned on and off. The applet can be printed exactly as it appears on the screen to make handouts. The web page has a discussion on how to test for horizontal, the line equation and has links to other pages relating to coordinate geometry. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

An interactive applet and associated web page that provide step-by-step animated instructions on how to measure angles using a protractor. Specifically, it uses a protractor to measure two angles that form a vertical pair, verifying they have the same measure. The animation can be run either continuously like a video, or single stepped to allow classroom discussion and thought between steps. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.
