This example demonstrates how to dynamically construct a geometric model of a tipi using sliders. Core math concepts include solid geometry, rotation, and trigonometry. Construction highlights the use of GeoGebra commands like Circle, Sequence, and Surface, along with objects such as n, D, E, d, F, liste1, r, U, V, a. Suitable for high school students learning solid geometry and parametric equations.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Circle(D, E) → d
  2. Sequence(Circle[Point[Segment[F, D], i], (i * Distance[D, E]), zAxis], i, 0, 1, 1 / n) → liste1
  3. Surface((x(F) * u) + ((1 - u) * x(D)) + ((r * (1 - u)) * cos(v)), (y(F) * u) + ((1 - u) * y(D)) + ((r * (1 - u)) * sin(v)), (z(F) * u) + ((1 - u) * z(D)), u, 0, U, v, 0, V) → a
