This example demonstrates the construction of elliptic cylinders, involving the geometric properties of ellipses and basic concepts of solid geometry. Using GeoGebra commands, users can dynamically adjust the parameters of the elliptic cylinder, such as the semi-axis lengths. Suitable for high school geometry and solid geometry courses.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. x^(2) / 25 + y^(2) / 9 = 1
  2. x^(2) / 25 + z^(2) / 9 = 1
  3. y^(2) / 25 + z^(2) / 9 = 1
  4. d: z = (3 * sqrt(1 - x^(2) / 25))
  5. e: z = (3 * sqrt(1 - y^(2) / 25))
