This example demonstrates the geometric properties of a rectangle. Key mathematical concepts include the definition and properties of a rectangle, as well as construction methods. Using GeoGebra commands such as Segment, OrthogonalLine, and Point, dynamic exploration of the sides, angles, and diagonals of a rectangle is possible. Suitable for middle school and above students and teachers.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Segment(A, B) → a
  2. OrthogonalLine(B, a) → b
  3. OrthogonalLine(A, a) → c
  4. Point(c) → C
  5. Line(C, a) → d
  6. Intersect(b, d) → D
  7. Polygon(A, C, D, B) → poly1, a_1, c_1, d_1, b_1
