Triangles

In geometry, we recently finished two units on congruent triangles and properties of triangles. Also recently, we translated a story by Ovid in Latin. In the story, one of the vocabulary words was acutus, a, um, meaning sharp or pointed. A type of triangle is called an acute triangle, and while the type of triangle is determined by angle measures, triangles themselves are three-sided figures that join at vertices or points. It was interesting to see a connection between geometry and latin class.
