This example demonstrates the calculation and visualization of the perimeter of polygons. It involves core mathematical concepts such as perimeter, inequalities, division, arithmetic mean, and integers. The construction utilizes GeoGebra commands like Sort, Polygon, Sequence, Rotate, Flatten, Max, along with objects like g, f, panneeded, panner, B, permtimer, A, D, C, xvalues, xmin, yvalues, ymin, poly1, a, d, b, c, list8, list5, list7, list12, list6, list13, F, list14, list11, E, Area, perm, button1, button2, opacity, arealist, list1, areatimer, e, areanumbers, list9, permlist. It is suitable for middle school students and above, as well as educators for teaching demonstrations.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Sort({x(A), x(B), x(C), x(D)}) → xvalues
  2. Sort({y(A), y(B), y(C), y(D)}) → yvalues
  3. Polygon(A, D, B, C) → poly1, a, d, b, c
  4. Sequence(Point[{xmin + c - i, ymin}], i, 1, c) → list8
  5. Sequence(Point[{xmin, ymin + i}], i, 0, a) → list5
  6. Sequence(Rotate[Point[{xmin + c, ymin + a - i}], (permtimer * ((-π)) / 2), (xmin + c, ymin)], i, 1, a) → list7
  7. Rotate(list5, (permtimer * ((-π)) / 2), list7(a)) → list12
  8. Sequence(Rotate[Point[{xmin + i, ymin + a}], (permtimer * ((-π)) / 2), list7(a)], i, 1, c) → list6
  9. Rotate(list12, (permtimer * ((-π)) / 2), list6(c)) → list13
  10. Rotate(list13, (permtimer * ((-π)) / 2), F) → list14
  11. Rotate(list6, (permtimer * ((-π)) / 2), list6(c)) → list11
  12. Sequence(Point[{Min[xvalues] + i, Min[yvalues] - 4}], i, 0, Area - 1) → arealist
  13. Flatten(Sequence[Sequence[Point[{Min[xvalues] + i, Min[yvalues] + j}], i, 0, c - 1], j, 0, a - 1]) → list1
  14. Sequence(Text[i, arealist(i) + (0.1, 0.2)], i, 1, Area) → areanumbers
  15. Flatten({Reverse[list8], Reverse[list7], Reverse[list11], Reverse[list14]}) → list9
  16. Sequence(Point[{Min[xvalues] + i, Min[yvalues] - 2}], i, 0, perm) → permlist
  17. Sequence((permlist(i) * permmover) + (list9(i) * (1 - permmover)), i, 1, Length[list9]) → list10
  18. Sequence(Segment[list10(i), list10(i + 1)], i, 1, perm) → list15
  19. Max(a + 1, ((R - L) * 17.4 / 32) + BOT) → T

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Create a visualization of a polygon's perimeter, demonstrating perimeter calculation and inequality relationships. Start by constructing a polygon, then generate a series of points based on the polygon's vertex coordinates. Use rotation and sequence operations to create dynamic effects. Display the perimeter value and area, connect relevant points with lines, and finally annotate the perimeter and area values with text, combining mathematical concepts with dynamic graphics.
