This example demonstrates the construction of an octagonal prism and its net, involving core math concepts like polygons, solid geometry, and spatial transformations. It uses GeoGebra commands/objects such as Point, Polygon, Prism, and Net. Suitable for high school geometry teaching or construction practice.
