Pedal Triangle
1. Drag point P to point J. Explain what happened. Can you see a geometric reason for this?
Triangle DEF lines up directly on top of Point H, which is perpendicular to segment EF and segment DF.
2. Drag point P to any point on the circumcircle. Describe what happens?
When I drag point P on the circumcircle, triangle DEF almost disappears.
3. Drag point P around the circumcircle. Describe what takes place . Also change the shape of triangle ABC to see if this phenomenon depends on the shape or size of the given triangle. Write down your conclusions?
Triangle ABC becomes smaller and smaller each time point P is on the circumcircle. Triangle DEF is the Pedal triangle of triangle ABC with respect to point P.
