Parallelogram Construction by Jim Moser
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example demonstrates the geometric properties of a parallelogram. Key mathematical concepts include the definition and properties of a parallelogram, as well as angle relationships. Using GeoGebra commands such as Line, Intersect, and Segment, a dynamic parallelogram can be constructed and its side lengths and angles can be observed. Suitable for middle school and above students and teachers.
