This example visually demonstrates the concept of percentages using fractions and circular sectors. It utilizes GeoGebra commands such as Sequence and CircleSector to dynamically show how percentages are distributed in a circle. Suitable for middle school and above students to learn probability and geometry.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Sequence((cos(((n * 2) * pi / parts)), sin(((n * 2) * pi / parts))), n, 1, parts) → l1
  2. CircleSector((0, 0), (1, 0), (cos(((partstaken * 2) * pi / parts)), sin(((partstaken * 2) * pi / parts)))) → e
  3. Sequence((cos(((m * 2) * pi / 100)), sin(((m * 2) * pi / 100))), m, 0, 100) → l2
  4. CircleSector((0, 0), (1, 0), (cos(((partstaken * 2) * pi / parts)), sin(((partstaken * 2) * pi / parts)))) → f
