This example demonstrates different sections of a triangular prism. Key mathematical concepts include solid geometry and geometric construction. Using GeoGebra commands such as Polygon, PointIn, Translate, Rotate, Prism, etc., it dynamically shows different sections of a triangular prism. Suitable for middle school and above students or teachers.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Polygon(B + (-2, -2), B + (2, -2), B + (2, 2), B + (-2, 2)) → poly3, e, f, g, i
  2. PointIn(poly3) → C
  3. Translate((0, 0, 0), Vector[B, C]) → A
  4. Polygon(A + (-4, -4), A + (4, -4), A + (4, 4), A + (-4, 4)) → poly1, a, b, c, d
  5. Rotate(Rotate[Translate[poly1, Vector[A, A + (0, 0, h)]], (90° * s), A + (0, 0, h), yAxis], (90° * t), A, zAxis) → poly2
  6. Rotate(D, 120°, (0, 0, 0)) → E
  7. Polygon(D, E, 3, xOyPlane) → poly4, j, k, l, F
  8. Prism(poly4, D + (0, 0, 4)) → m, M, edge4, edge5, edge6, N, face1, face2, face3, face4, edge1, edge2, edge3
  9. PointIn(poly2) → G
  10. PointIn(poly2) → H

  13. IntersectPath(n, m) → poly6, poly5, r, a_1, b_1, c_1, K, L_1, O, P, J, L, p, q
  14. Rotate(m, 0, zAxis) → m'
  15. Rotate(m, 0, zAxis) → m'_1
  16. OrthogonalLine(A, n) → d_1

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a triangular prism with a triangular base and height 4. Place an inclined plane inside the prism, determined by three points on different lateral faces. Use this plane to cut the prism, showing the resulting cross-section polygon and its intersection lines with the prism faces. Additionally, draw a square parallel to the base outside the prism and another rotated square to illustrate spatial relationships. Overall, demonstrate the construction of cross-sections in solid geometry.
