69- The Farmers' Problem

Thursday, October 11, 2012: 12:30 PM-1:30 PM
Room D165 (Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Jonathan T. Duarte

Come and explore the farmers' problem. We will use The Geometer's Sketchpad and GeoGebra to transform an n-gon into a triangle while preserving the original area of the n-gon. Then, we will apply the transformation techniques to solve the farmers’ problem. Participants do not need prior knowledge of The Geometer’s Sketchpad or Geogebra.
