This example demonstrates the surface construction of a prism. Key mathematical concepts include polygons and solid geometry. Using GeoGebra commands such as Intersect, Polygon, and Prism, the surface of a prism can be constructed. Suitable for students at the middle school level and above.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Intersect(zAxis, xAxis) → A
  2. Polygon(B, C, D, E) → poly1, b, c, d, e
  3. Prism(poly1, I) → a, F, edgeCF, edgeDG, edgeEH, edgeFI, edgeFG, edgeGH, edgeHI, G, H, faceBCFI, faceCDGF, faceDEHG, faceBEHI, faceFGHI, edgeBI
