Sloyer, C. W. – School Science and Mathematics, 1975
A particular shot on a pool table is analyzed using the concept of similar triangles, to introduce the equivalence of the "incident-reflection" principle and the "minimum-distance" principle. (CR)

Pullman, Howard W. – School Science and Mathematics, 1979
Pick's Theorem, a statement of the relationship between the area of a polygonal region on a lattice and its interior and boundary lattice points, is familiar to those whose students have participated in activities and discovery lessons using the geoboard. The proof presented, although rather long, is well within the grasp of the average geometry…

Byrkit, Donald R.; Moore, F. Nicholson – School Science and Mathematics, 1977
This article examines the Pythagorean Theorem from a geometric point of view by suggesting some natural extensions of the theorem. The use of a more general theorem to prove a difficult one is suggested, where possible. The article includes figures and proofs. (Author/MA)
