Triangle.gs: Geometry Software for Exploring Triangless

A user-friendly software for exploring triangle properties, calculating side lengths and angles, constructing triangles, and visualizing them in 2D and 3D.

What is Triangle.gs?

Triangle.gs is a browser-based geometry software application designed specifically for exploring, visualizing, and discovering properties of triangles. It allows users to easily construct triangles by specifying combinations of sides, angles, perimeter, area, and other attributes. The software then determines if the specified triangle is able to exist and constructs it if so.

Once a triangle is constructed in Triangle.gs, users can interact with it in a variety of ways. Side lengths, angles, area, perimeter, altitudes, angle bisectors, and more are all labeled dynamically. The triangle can be dragged to reshape it, revealing how the numerical attributes update in real-time. There are also options to reflect, rotate, and translate the triangle on the canvas.

A key feature of Triangle.gs is the ability to quickly construct countless triangle configurations and analyze their properties under different conditions. By adjusting the triangle attributes with sliders and text inputs, combinations can be explored that illustrate triangle congruence and similarity concepts. There are also tools to apply geometric constructions like circumcenters, incenters, perpendicular bisectors, and more.

Triangle.gs utilizes a flexible 2D canvas as well as an integrated 3D model to provide engaging visualizations. Users can dynamically transition between the 2D and 3D views, with the ability to rotate and zoom the 3D model for deeper visualization. Metrics like dihedral angles and solid angle measures augment the 3D model.

With its focus specifically on triangles, simplicity of use, visually engaging 2D and 3D modeling, and thorough set of interactive analytic tools, Triangle.gs is ideal for students beginning to explore triangle geometry. It can effectively complement a geometry curriculum or be used as a standalone discovery tool for triangles.
