This example demonstrates the calculation of arc length of a function. Using knowledge of coordinate geometry and calculus, the arc length between any two points on the function graph can be calculated. The construction summary uses GeoGebra commands and objects such as Point, Segment, f, delta, A, f', m, T, B, C, a, D, b, c, text1, text2, text3, text4, d, e, g, h, text5, i. Suitable for high school and above students to learn the method of calculating function arc length.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Point(f) → A
  2. Segment(C, B) → a
  3. Segment(C, D) → b
  4. Segment(B, D) → c
