This example demonstrates the “Span 4” idea through an interactive geometric configuration: by changing input parameters, the key points and connecting segments maintain prescribed constraints, revealing how a four-part span structure can be enforced visually. The core math concepts include the tangent function (as an angle/slope constraint), quadratic equations (as the underlying measurement/feasibility condition), and polygon-based geometry relationships related to kite/rhombus-like structure and symmetry. Construction highlights (from the GeoGebra construction summary) rely on multiple Textfield and driven input objects—w_{3}, w_{1}, w_{2}, a, b, c, InputBox1, InputBox2, v, w, InputBox3, d, Y, InputBox4—together with text outputs (text1, text2) to display the computed span-related quantities as the configuration updates. Suitable for secondary-school geometry with function applications and for students who want to connect tangent-based constraints to quadratic geometric reasoning.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Textfield(w_{1}) → InputBox1
  2. Textfield(w_{2}) → InputBox2
  3. Textfield(v) → InputBox3
  4. Textfield(w_{3}) → InputBox4

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a four-segment connected geometric structure with four input parameters w₁, w₂, v, and w₃. Adjust these parameters to ensure that the four key points and connecting segments meet specific tangent constraints and quadratic equation conditions, forming a kite-like or rhombus-like symmetric structure. First, input w₁ and w₂ as angle constraints, then input v and w₃ as quadratic equation conditions, and finally automatically draw the geometric figure that meets these conditions.
