  1. I wonder that the solve rate for the triangle problem would be if you gave it to students while teaching them similar triangles vs. law of sines.

  2. I don't yet see how to solve it either way. (I'm working with my students right now on Law of Sines, so if it's a reasonable problem, I can give it as a challenge.)

    1. Whenever a problem says angle A = angle B, that sets off my "similar triangles" flag.

      One might even call it "AAAdar". ;)

    2. hee hee. Yeah, I didn't slow down enough. Once I drew it out carefully, it became super simple. Trust, that's what it took. Thanks.

  3. Sue, the Numberplay link actually goes back to Five Triangles; need correction... as far as contacting Five Triangles perhaps tweet them @Five_Triangles and see if they respond

    1. Thanks. I saw that all the links opened wrong, so I fixed that too. (I like to have them open in a new window.)
