This example demonstrates the geometric construction and 3D shape of a hexagonal prism. Core math concepts include polygons, solid geometry, and geometric transformations. Key GeoGebra commands and objects used, as derived from the construction summary, are Intersect, Point, Polygon, and Prism. Suitable for high school students learning solid geometry or for educational demonstrations.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Intersect(xAxis, yAxis) → A
  2. Point(yAxis) → B
  3. Polygon(A, B, 6) → poly1, f, F, g, h, i, j, k, C, D, E
  4. Prism(poly1, 5.880441876010835) → a, G, faceDEKJ, faceEFLK, faceAFLG, faceGHIJKL, edgeAG, edgeBH, edgeCI, edgeDJ, edgeEK, edgeFL, H, edgeGH, edgeHI, edgeIJ, edgeJK, edgeKL, edgeGL, I, J, K, L, faceABHG, faceBCIH, faceCDJI
