    THE E BOOK 2021–2022 THE E BOOK This book is a guide that sets the standard for what is expected of you as an Exonian. You will find in these pages information about Academy life, rules and policies. Please take the time to read this handbook carefully. You will find yourself referring to it when you have questions about issues ranging from the out-of-town procedure to the community conduct system to laundry services. The rules and policies of Phillips Exeter Academy are set by the Trustees, faculty and administration, and may be revised during the school year. If changes occur during the school year, the Academy will notify students and their families. All students are expected to follow the most recent rules and policies. Procedures outlined in this book apply under normal circumstances. On occasion, however, a situation may require an immediate, nonstandard response. In such circumstances, the Academy reserves the right to take actions deemed to be in the best interest of the Academy, its employees and its students. This document as written does not limit the authority of the Academy to alter its rules and procedures to accommodate any unusual or changed circumstances. If you have any questions about the contents of this book or anything else about life at Phillips Exeter Academy, please feel free to ask.

  • Activity 19 – Constructing Similar Triangles
    Activity 25 - The Euler Line First, turn on your TI-84 Plus and press the APPS key. Arrow down until you see Cabri Jr and press Í. You should now see this introduction screen. To begin the program, press any key. If a drawing comes up on the screen, press the o key (note the F1 above and to the right of the key – this program uses F1, F2, F3, F4, F5 names instead of the regular key names) and arrow down to NEW. It will ask you if you would like to save the changes. Press the y key and then enter to not save the changes. We are now ready to begin. From last year’s activities, you learned about four triangle centers that can be easily constructed. We will use all four centers in this construction. To review, the points are: • The Circumcenter at the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle – we will call this point D. • The Incenter at the intersection of the angle bisectors – we will call this point E. • The Orthocenter at the intersection of the altitudes – we will call this point F. • The Centroid at the intersection of the medians – we will call this point G. Start with any triangle ABC. In the diagram, sides BC and AC are almost congruent. This will cause a slight problem that will need to be corrected later and provide a hint for one of the quesitons posed later. Construct the perpendicular bisectors of two of the sides. Why is it sufficient to construct only two of these lines? Construct the point of intersection.

  • A New Way to Think About Triangles
    A New Way to Think About Triangles Adam Carr, Julia Fisher, Andrew Roberts, David Xu, and advisor Stephen Kennedy June 6, 2007 1 Background and Motivation Around 500-600 B.C., either Thales of Miletus or Pythagoras of Samos introduced the Western world to the forerunner of Western geometry. After a good deal of work had been devoted to the ¯eld, Euclid compiled and wrote The Elements circa 300 B.C. In this work, he gathered a fairly complete backbone of what we know today as Euclidean geometry. For most of the 2,500 years since, mathematicians have used the most basic tools to do geometry|a compass and straightedge. Point by point, line by line, drawing by drawing, mathematicians have hunted for visual and intuitive evidence in hopes of discovering new theorems; they did it all by hand. Judging from the complexity and depth from the geometric results we see today, it's safe to say that geometers were certainly not su®ering from a lack of technology. In today's technologically advanced world, a strenuous e®ort is not required to transfer the ca- pabilities of a standard compass and straightedge to user-friendly software. One powerful example of this is Geometer's Sketchpad. This program has allowed mathematicians to take an experimental approach to doing geometry. With the ability to create constructions quickly and cleanly, one is able to see a result ¯rst and work towards developing a proof for it afterwards. Although one cannot claim proof by empirical evidence, the task of ¯nding interesting things to prove became a lot easier with the help of this insightful and flexible visual tool.
