This example demonstrates the calculation of the perimeter and area of a rectangle. Key mathematical concepts include the properties of a rectangle, formulas for area and perimeter. Using GeoGebra commands such as Polygon, Distance, and Perimeter, you can dynamically change the side lengths of the rectangle and observe changes in perimeter and area. Suitable for middle and high school students learning geometric construction and area/perimeter calculations.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Polygon(A, C, D, B) → poly1, a, c, d, b
  2. Distance(b, a) → e
  3. Perimeter(poly1) → perimeterpoly1
  4. PointIn(poly1) → Pointpoly1_1
  5. PointIn(poly1) → Pointpoly1
