Midpoints and Quadrilaterals
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example constructs a quadrilateral by connecting the vertices of a square and the midpoints of the opposite sides. It demonstrates the construction of a quadrilateral, involving the concepts of a square and midpoints. It uses Segment, OrthogonalLine, Circle, Intersect, Midpoint, Polygon, Rotate commands in GeoGebra. Suitable for middle school and above students to learn geometric construction.
