This example demonstrates the relationship between a sphere and a path. It involves concepts such as spheres, hyperbolas, and tangent lines. Using GeoGebra commands like Angle and CurveCartesian, the construction of a path on a sphere is shown. Suitable for high school mathematics education, particularly in coordinate geometry and solid geometry.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Angle(xAxis, xOyPlane) → α
  2. CurveCartesian(((4 * sin((π / 4 * sin(t)) + π / 2)) * cos(t)), ((4 * sin((π / 4 * sin(t)) + π / 2)) * sin(t)), (4 * cos((π / 4 * sin(t)) + π / 2)), t, 0, (4 * π)) → c
