This example demonstrates the properties of a rectangle. Key mathematical concepts include the definition of a rectangle, properties of diagonals, and angle relationships. Using GeoGebra commands such as Segment, OrthogonalLine, Point, Line, Intersect, and Polygon, the construction of a rectangle and the observation of its properties are illustrated. Suitable for middle school and above students or teachers.
