Pipe Art – Triangle Congruence
Louisa is making modern art from PVC pipe and fittings. Here is part of one of of her pieces:
She has custom-made corners that join the straight pieces, in angle measures from 30° to 150°
Before she begins, she makes a pattern for each triangle. Cut out the pipe pattern pieces that your teacher gave you. Cut along the “ends” of each pipe elbow.ome of the straight pipe is cut already, and some she can cut to any length she needs.
Make some triangles with the pieces, adjusting the length of each pipe as needed.
Sketch the triangles you make. Record everything you notice about them.
