  In this article we investigate (with methods of school geometry) a figure (PQ,ABC) consisting of three given similar triangles PQA, PQB, PQC with side PQ in common (Figure 1). We combine other triangles with this figure such as triangle ABC which is proved to be similar to the given triangles. The incircles of three additional triangles adjacent to triangle ABC will be determined.

  The sum of the areas of the Napoleon triangles is the average of the areas of the three outward equilateral triangles on the sides of triangle ABC, and the differerence of these areas is the area of triangle ABC. In this paper we examine how to change these properties if we build on the sides of the triangle ABC, outwards and inwards, three similar triangles.

  The aim of this study is to examine how teachers can use ICT (information and communications technology) tools and the method of blended learning to teach mathematical problem solving. The new Hungarian mathematics curriculum (NAT) emphasizes the role of history of science, therefore we chose a topic from the history of mathematics, from the geometry of triangles: Viviani's Theorem and its problem field. We carried out our teaching experiments at a secondary school with 14-year-old students. Students investigated open geometrical problems with the help of a dynamic geometric software (GeoGebra). Their research work was similar to the historical way.
