Inscribing and Circumscribing Right Triangles

This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to use geometric properties to solve problems. In particular, it will help you identify and help students who have difficulty:

• Decomposing complex shapes into simpler ones in order to solve a problem.
• Bringing together several geometric concepts to solve a problem.
• Finding the relationship between radii of inscribed and circumscribed circles of right triangles.
