This example demonstrates how to draw an ellipse using GeoGebra. Key mathematical concepts include the definition and properties of an ellipse. Commands such as Circle, Intersect, and Ellipse are used to construct the ellipse. Suitable for students in middle school and above to learn about ellipses.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Circle(A, g) → h
  2. Circle(B, e) → k
  3. Intersect(h, k, 1) → C_1
  4. Ellipse(A, B, C_1) → p
  5. Line(A, B) → i
  6. Point(p) → B'
  7. Segment(A, B') → s_1
  8. Segment(B, B') → s_2
  9. Segment(A, B) → a_1
  10. Midpoint(a_1) → G
  11. OrthogonalLine(G, a_1) → b_1
  12. Intersect(p, b_1) → F, E
  13. Line(A, B) → c
  14. Intersect(p, c) → C, D
  15. Segment(E, F) → d
  16. Segment(C, D) → f
  17. Distance(G, D) → distanceGD
  18. Distance(G, E) → distanceGE
  19. Segment(G, E) → b
  20. Segment(G, D) → a
