This example demonstrates the exploration of the sum of interior angles. Key mathematical concepts include the theorem of the sum of interior angles of a triangle. Using GeoGebra commands such as Polygon, Angle, Point, etc., a dynamic triangle can be constructed to observe the changes in the sum of its interior angles. Suitable for middle school and above students to learn geometric construction and triangle properties.
