This example demonstrates the cross section of a cube. It involves concepts from solid geometry such as plane figures and cross sections. Using GeoGebra commands like Point, Cube, Translate, IntersectPath, Rotate, etc., different cross sections of the cube can be constructed. Suitable for students at the junior high school level and above.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Point(Circle[B, Distance[A, B], Segment[A, B]]) → C
  2. Cube(A, B, C) → a, D, faceCDHG, faceEFGH, edgeAD, edgeAB, edgeBC, edgeCD, edgeAE, edgeDH, edgeEH, edgeEF, E, edgeBF, edgeFG, edgeCG, edgeGH, F, G, H, faceABCD, faceADHE, faceABFE, faceBCGF
  3. Translate(Rotate[Rotate[Plane[xAxis, yAxis], tt, xAxis], rr, zAxis], Vector[(0, 0, ud)]) → b
  4. IntersectPath(b, a) → poly1, I, i, j, k, J, K, L, M, N, f, g, h
  5. Rotate(Rotate[Translate[poly1, Vector[(0, 0, (-ud))]], (-rr), zAxis], (-tt), xAxis) → poly2
