Area and Perimeter of a Rectangle by Nicolle McJannet
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example demonstrates how to use GeoGebra to draw a rectangle and calculate its area and perimeter. Key mathematical concepts include the properties of a rectangle, methods for calculating area and perimeter. Using commands like Point, OrthogonalLine, Intersect, Polygon, etc., the size of the rectangle can be dynamically changed to observe the changes in area and perimeter. Suitable for students at the junior high school level and above to learn geometric construction and area/perimeter calculations.
