The Problem:
Draw an
equilateral triangle, ABC, of side 10cm.
Choose any
point in the interior of the triangle, and call it P.
Drop
perpendiculars from P to each of the three sides. These points of contact can be
called M, N and Q.
Measure the
lengths of PM, PN and PQ.
What is the total of these three lengths PM + PN + PQ ?
Try it again
with some other point P�.
Can you
explain why the total is always the same?
