This example demonstrates the property of the sum of angles in a triangle. Key mathematical concepts include the theorem of the sum of angles in a triangle. Using GeoGebra commands such as Point, Polygon, Line, Midpoint, Rotate, Angle, and Vector, it dynamically shows that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees. Suitable for middle school and above students to learn geometric construction and triangle properties.
