Folding Circle into Equilateral Triangle - GeoGebra

This is a Java Applet created using GeoGebra from www.geogebra.org - it looks like you don't have Java installed, please go to www.java.com

  1. Seems that the Java applet isn't working... Looks like it's loading something forever.

  2. More geometry information like this can be generated by folding paper circles (paper plates, for example). See the Wholemovement work of Bradford Hansen-Smith.

  3. Sanjay, this is construction, it is not folding and it is misleading to say so. Folding is not drawing lines between points. Folding is touching two points together and a crease is generated perpendicular to the folding movement and half way between the two points. I think it is very confusing to suggest one can construct a 2-D image and think they have folded a figure. Folding is a spatial activity and can not be done or explained in 2-D.

  4. I am here to discuss about the definition of equilateral triangle its a triangle with all the sides equal and all the angles should be 60 degree.
