This example demonstrates how to draw an arc on a sphere. It involves core mathematical concepts such as spherical geometry, arc construction, and the relationship between points and lines. Key GeoGebra commands/objects used include PointIn (point on object), Intersect (intersection), Segment (segment), and CircleArc (arc). Suitable for high school spherical geometry instruction or math clubs exploring properties of spherical geometry.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. PointIn(a) → A
  2. PointIn(a) → B
  3. Intersect(yAxis, zAxis) → C
  4. Segment(C, A) → f
  5. Segment(C, B) → g
  6. CircleArc(C, A, B) → c
