In collections Quadrilateral Constructions
This example demonstrates constructing various polygons, including parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses, squares, trapezoids, and isosceles trapezoids, using the compass method. Key mathematical concepts include geometric transformations and properties of polygons. GeoGebra commands such as Sort, Element, and If are used to construct these shapes. Suitable for middle and high school students learning geometric construction.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Sort(triSides) → TriSidesSort
  2. Element(TriSidesSort, 1) → sideA
  3. Element(TriSidesSort, 2) → sideB
  4. Element(TriSidesSort, 3) → sideC
  5. If(square, "Square", isoTrapezoid, "Isosceles Trapezoid", trapezoid, "Trapezoid", isQuad, "Quadrilateral", " ", rectangle, "Rectangle", rhombus, "Rhombus", parallelogram, "Parallelogram", kite, "Kite") → quadText
  6. If(triEquilateral, "Equilateral", triIsosceles, "Isosceles", triScalene, "Scalene", " ") → triSideText
  7. If(triRight, "Right", triAcute, "Acute", triObtuse, "Obtuse", " ") → triAngleText
  8. If(isQuad, quadText, isTriangle, triText, "") → polyText
