This example demonstrates paper models of right triangles. It involves the basic properties of right triangles and geometric construction. Using GeoGebra commands such as Polygon, Distance, Midpoint, etc., a right triangle model can be constructed. Suitable for middle school and above students to learn about right triangles.
