AngleGeometric Construction
This example demonstrates how to construct a line segment that is perpendicular to a given line segment. The core math concepts involved include line segments, angles, and geometric construction. The construction uses GeoGebra commands and objects such as Segment, Circle, and Intersect. It is suitable for middle school and above mathematics education, teaching geometric construction and the concept of perpendicular line segments.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Segment(A, B) → f
  2. Circle(B, Segment[A, B]) → c
  3. Circle(A, Segment[B, A]) → d
  4. Intersect(c, d, 2) → C
  5. Intersect(c, d, 1) → D
  6. Segment(C, D) → g
