This example demonstrates the construction of a rectangular pyramid. Key mathematical concepts include solid geometry, vector transformations, and polygons. Using GeoGebra commands such as Dilate, Vector, and Polygon, the construction process is dynamically shown. Suitable for high school mathematics education and students learning solid geometry.
