Right-click on line g and click on Show Object check-box.
|
Right-click on line g, from the submenu click on Show Object check-box.
|
Point to the parallelogram ABDC. | Now we will explore the properties of parallelogram ABDC. |
Point to the line segments f, j, h, k in Algebra view.
Point to lines in Graphics view. |
From the Algebra view, we can find that,
Observe that, the opposite sides are parallel and equal. |
Cursor on the parallelogram. | Let us now measure the angles of the parallelogram. |
Click on Angle tool.
Click on ACD, CAB, ABD, BDC. |
Click on Angle tool.
Click on the points DCA, CAB, ABD, BDC. |
Point to the sides and angle in the parallelogram. | Observe that the opposite angles are equal. |
Cursor on the parallelogram. | Now we will convert the parallelogram ABDC to a rectangle. |
Click on Move tool >> click and drag point C.
Click and drag labels. Point to all the angles of the rectangle ABDC. |
Click on Move tool.
Click and drag point C until you see 90 degrees angle.
|
Cursor on GeoGebra interface. | Now let us learn to construct a kite. |
Click on File >> Select New Window. | For this I will open a new GeoGebra window.
Click on File and select New Window. |
Cursor on Graphics view. | To contruct a kite, we will draw two circles that intersect at two points. |
Click on Circle with Centre through point tool. | Click on Circle with Centre through point tool. |
Click on the Graphics view. | Then click on Graphics view. |
Cursor on point A | Point A is drawn, this is the centre of the circle. |
Click again at a distance. | Click again at some distance from point A. |
Cursor on point B. | Point B appears.
This completes the circle c. |
Click on Circle with Centre through point tool >> Graphics view.
Cursor on point C >> Click again at a distance >> Cursor on point D. |
Similarly, we will draw another circle with centre C and passing through point D. |
Point to the two points of intersection | Notice that the two circles c and d intersect at two points. |
Click on Intersect tool and click on the circles c and d. | Click on Intersect tool and click on the circles c and d. |
Cursor on the points of intersection. | E and F are the intersection points of the circles. |
Point to the circles. | Now let us draw the required quadrilateral using these circles. |
Click on Polygon tool. | Click on Polygon tool. |
Click on the points A, E, C, F and A again. | Click on the points A, E, C, F and A again to complete the quadrilateral. |
Point to the Algebra view. | Notice in the Algebra View that two pairs of adjacent sides are equal.
