This GeoGebra example illustrates that the largest angle in a triangle is opposite the longest side, and the smallest angle is opposite the shortest side. Key mathematical concepts include the relationships between sides and angles in a triangle. Using commands like Polygon, Angle, and Distance, the construction of a triangle and measurement of its angles and sides are demonstrated. Suitable for students at the middle school level and above to learn basic properties of triangles.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Polygon(A, B, C) → poly1, c, a, b
  2. Angle(A, C, B) → α
