	Bisecting rays		2009-09-09
		From frank: Ray OC bisects angle AOB, ray OD bisects angle AOC, ray OE bisects angle AOD, ray OF bisects angel AOE, and ray OG bisects angle FOC: if angle BOF=120 degrees, then find angle DOE? Confused! Answered by Penny Nom.
	Estimate the cube root of 270		2008-03-11
		From Tom: (a) By plotting suitable graphs, estimate to one decimal place the cube root of 270. (b) With reference to your answer to part (a), use 8 iterations of a Bisection Search to refine your estimate. Use the nearest whole numbers either side of your estimate from part (a) as starting values. (c) Using either of your starting values from part (b) as first guess, use the Newton-Raphson method to find the true value of the root (to 6 decimal places). Repeat using the other starting value from part (b) and compare the two results. Answered by Harley Weston.
	Proving a quadrilateral is a rhombus		2007-12-03
		From Jeanie: How do you prove that a quadrilateral is a rhombus because the diagonals of the quadrilateral are perpendicular and bisect each other using the 2-column proof method? Answered by Stephen La Rocque.
	Equation of a circle circumscribing a triangle with given vertices		2007-10-01
		From Randy: How do I determine the equation of a circle when it is circumscribed by a triangle whose vertices are (-1, 6), (3, -2), and (2, 5)? Answered by Stephen La Rocque.
	A triangle problem		2007-04-23
		From Dimitri: In the triangle ABC, M is the midpoint of AB and N is the midpoint of AC. Prove that CM and BN cannot bisect. (I can prove it by contradiction if it is a scalene triangle, but i cant seem to prove it for isosceles) Answered by Chris Fisher.
	Collinear Points		2003-01-13
		From Gary: Which of the 4 points are collinear when you construct the following concurrent lines or rays of a triangle? P(1), the point where the angle bisectors intersect. P(2), the point where the altitudes (or extensions) intersect (inside or outside of the triangle). P(3), the point where the medians intersect. P(4), the point where the perpendicular bisectors (or extensions) of the three sides of a triangle intersect. This is for my 9-12 high school class in geometry. My name is Gary Thanks for your help. Gary Answered by Harley Weston and Chris Fisher.
	Applied geometry		2001-11-02
		From Jenny: Where can I find some hands-on activities for my Applied Geometry classes? I want to do more activities with them that allow us to get out of the classroom. However, I want to use activities that use only inexpensive equipment because I usually buy the equipment myself. Answered by Walter Whiteley.
	Bisecting angles		2001-08-27
		From Monica: Ray QS is the bisector for angle PQR. Find the measure of angle PQS and PQR if the measure of angle SQR is 52 degrees. Answered by Penny Nom.
	Two sides and a bisectrix.		1998-11-11
		From Victor Grinshtein: I am looking for someone who can tell me how to construct a triangle by 2 sides and a bisectrix using a compass and a ruler. Answered by Chris Fisher.
	Concurrent Lines in a Triangle		1998-08-10
		From Chris Woolf: The question is Name four types of concurrent lines, rays, or segments that are associated with triangles. Answered by Chris Fisher.
