This example demonstrates whether four support posts can form a planar roof. Key mathematical concepts include plane geometry and vectors. Using GeoGebra commands such as Ray, Point, Vector, Polygon, Segment, etc., a geometric model of the roof can be constructed. Suitable for high school or university geometry and architecture courses.
