This example demonstrates how to calculate the area of a rectangle by changing its length and width. Key mathematical concepts include the area formula for a rectangle. It uses GeoGebra commands such as Sequence, Polygon, and Circle for construction. Suitable for middle school and above students learning geometric construction.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Sequence((x(A) + (unitsize * i), y(A)), i, 1, base) → list1
  2. Sequence((x(A) + (unitsize * i), y(A) + (height * unitsize)), i, 1, base) → list2
  3. Sequence((x(A), y(A) + (unitsize * i)), i, 1, height) → list3
  4. Sequence((x(A) + base, y(A) + (unitsize * i)), i, 1, height) → list4
  5. Polygon(A, Element[list1, base], Element[list2, base], Element[list3, height]) → poly1, a, b, c, d
  6. Circle(B, unitsize) → f
  7. Point(f) → C
  8. Circle(C, unitsize) → g
  9. Polygon(B, C, 4) → poly2, h, i, j, k, D, E
  10. Sequence(Segment[(x(A), y(A) + (unitsize * i)), (x(A) + (base * unitsize), y(A) + (unitsize * i))], i, 0, height) → dottedhorizontals
  11. Sequence(Segment[(x(A) + (unitsize * i), y(A)), (x(A) + (unitsize * i), y(A) + (height * unitsize))], i, 0, base) → dottedverticals
