PolygonVectorGeometric Construction
This example demonstrates the definition of a kite, a special quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal. The construction shows the geometric properties of a kite using Segment, Midpoint, Point, Vector, Mirror, OrthogonalLine, and Polygon commands in GeoGebra. Suitable for middle school and above students to learn geometric construction and symmetry.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Segment(A, B) → a
  2. Midpoint(a) → C
  3. Point(a) → D
  4. Vector(C, D) → u
  5. Point(a) → E
  6. Segment(A, E) → b
  7. Point(a) → F
  8. Segment(F, B) → c
  9. Mirror(D, a) → D'
  10. Point(b) → H
  11. Point(c) → I
  12. OrthogonalLine(D, a) → d
  13. Point(d) → G
  14. Mirror(G, a) → G'
  15. Polygon(A, G, I, G') → poly1, a_1, g, i, g'
