This example demonstrates the area and perimeter of a rectangle. Key mathematical concepts include the calculation of area and perimeter. Using GeoGebra commands such as Polygon and Segment, you can dynamically adjust the rectangle's sides and observe changes in area and perimeter. Suitable for middle and high school students learning geometry.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Polygon(A, D, B, C) → poly1, a, d, b, c
  2. Segment(A, D) → e
  3. Segment(D, B) → f
  4. Segment(B, C) → g
  5. Segment(C, A) → h
  6. Polygon(E, F, G, H) → poly2, e_1, f_1, g_1, h_1
