PolygonGeometric Construction
This example demonstrates how to change the area of a parallelogram by adjusting its base and height. Key mathematical concepts include the formula for the area of a parallelogram. It uses GeoGebra commands such as Segment, Polygon, and Text to construct the figure. Suitable for middle school and above students learning geometric construction.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Segment(A, B) → a
  2. Segment(A, C) → b
  3. Segment(B, D) → c
  4. Segment(C, D) → d
  5. Polygon(A, G, D, B) → poly1, a_1, g_1, d_1, b_1
  6. Text("A=" + (Height * Base) + "cm²") → text1
  7. Segment(F, H) → e
  8. Text("A=bh =" + Base + "x" + Height) → text4
