The Math Forum - Corner for Interactive Geometry Software

The purpose of this lab is to help you become accustomed to using the Geometer's Sketchpad (GSP). Answer the questions in the space provided. Something should happen each time a question is asked; your task is to describe what happens. (If nothing happens, try again.)
