This GeoGebra example demonstrates the construction of a three-dimensional pyramid and its unfolded net, visualizing the spatial relationships among vertices, faces, and edges. It covers core mathematical concepts in solid geometry, polyhedra, surface unfolding, and optimization problems involving volume or surface area extrema. The construction leverages GeoGebra commands such as Pyramid and Net, along with defined point, face, and edge objects (e.g., A, B, C, D, E, faceABCD, edgeAB) to build the model, incorporating integer coordinates and parameter adjustments for interactive exploration. Suitable for high school geometry lessons, optimization projects, and three-dimensional modeling practice, it provides an interactive platform for understanding spatial structures and geometric transformations.
