This example demonstrates Pythagoras' Theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. It involves key mathematical concepts such as right triangles, Pythagorean Theorem, angles, and vectors. Using GeoGebra commands like Segment, OrthogonalLine, Point, Polygon, Angle, etc., it dynamically illustrates the properties of right triangles. Suitable for middle school and above students for learning and teachers for teaching.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Segment(A, B) → a_2
  2. OrthogonalLine(A, a_2) → b_2
  3. Point(b_2) → C
  4. Polygon(B, C, A) → poly1, c, b, a
  5. Angle(B, A, C) → α
