Point to the figure. Let us complete the figure.
Click on Intersect tool >> click on points of intersections of the circle and tangents. Click on the Intersect tool.

Mark points of intersection of the tangents to the circle.

Click on Segment tool >> click on A, C >> click A, D >> click A, B. Using the Segment tool we will join A C, A D and A B.
Point to the Algebra view. In the Algebra view, note that segment AC is equal to segment AD.


They are radii of the circle c.

Cursor on the point of contact of tangents and circle Now let's measure the angles at the point of contact of the tangents to the circle.
Click on Angle tool >> click on the points B, C, A.


Click on the points A, D, B.

Click on the Angle tool and click on the points B, C, A.


Then click on the points A, D, B.

Point to the angles. Observe that the angles alpha and beta are 90 degrees.


This is because at the point of contact, tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius.

Point to Algebra view.

Click on the arrow triangle next to Algebra.

In the Algebra view, click on the arrow triangle named as Toggle Style Bar.
Click and point to the button and drop-downs. Auxillary Objects, Sort Objects by drop-down and fx drop-down appear.
Click on Sort Objects by drop-down.

Point to the menu.

Click on Sort Objects by drop-down.


Sort by menu opens.

Point to the check-boxes. This menu has,

Dependency, Object Type, Layer and Construction Order check-boxes.

Point to Object Type check-box.


Select Dependency check-box.

By default, Object Type check-box is selected.


In other operating systems a different check-box may be selected.


Let us select Dependency check-box.

Under Free Objects point to points A and B.


Point to all other objects under Dependent Objects.

Note that only points A and B are under Free Objects.


All other objects are under Dependent Objects.

Click and show the check-boxes. You can select other check-boxes and see how the objects are sorted.
Cursor in the Graphics view. Now we will learn how to create a check-box.
Click on Check Box tool >> click in the Graphics view.

Point to the dialog box.

Click on the Check Box tool and click in the Graphics view.


Check Box to Show/hide Objects dialog box opens.

Point to the Caption text box.

Type Angles

In the Caption text box, I will type Angles.
Point to Select objects in construction or choose from list.


Click on Apply button in the box.

From the Select objects drop-down, let us select Angle alpha and Angle beta.


Then click on Apply button in the box.

Point to the check-box. Angles check-box appears in the Graphics view.
Click on Move tool. Let us click on Move tool to avoid clicking of other objects in the Graphics view.
Point to the check-box in the views. Angles check-box is shown as a Boolean Value a in the views.
Check and uncheck the Angles check-box. Using this check-box, we can show or hide the angles alpha and beta.
Point to the Boolean value in the Algebra view. In the Algebra view, Boolean Value is true when the angles are shown.
Click on Angles check-box to show or hide the angles. Boolean Value becomes false when they are hidden.
Cursor on Geogebra interface. Now we will insert an input box.
Click on Input Box tool >> click in the Graphics view. Click on the Input Box tool and click in the Graphics view.
Point to Input Box. Input Box appears in the Graphics view.
Type Caption as Circle. In the box, type the Caption as Circle.
Point to Linked Object drop-down.

Select circle c>> click OK.

In the Linked Object drop-down, select circle c.

And click on OK button in the box.

Point to the input box. Circle input box, along with its coordinates, appears in the Graphics view.
Click on Move tool. Click on Move tool to select it.
Type B in place of A >> press Enter.


Point to tangents and related objects in the Algebra and Graphics views.

In the input box, type B in place of A and press Enter.


The tangents, angles and all related objects disappear.


Position of the circle has also changed


This happens because all the objects are dependent on point A.

Slide Number 6
Assignment
As an assignment,

In the circle input box change (A,B) to (B,A) and (A,A) and see what happens.

Explain your observation.

Click on Undo button. Click on Undo button to undo the changes

Cursor on the interface.

Now, we will learn how to create a button.
Click on Button tool >> click in the Graphics view. Click on the Button tool and click in the Graphics view.

In GeoGebra Script box type the following script.


Cursor in the GeoGebra Script box Now I will explain the script.
Highlight the line SetValue[A, A-1] This line will change the position of the coordinates of A to A-1


This means that the x coordinate of A becomes x-1 and y coordinate of A becomes y-l.

Highlight the line SetValue[B, B+2] Similarly this command will change the poistion of the coordinates of B to B+2.
Highlight the line SetColor[j, "Blue"] This line will set the colour of segment j to blue.
Highlight the line SetColor[h, "green"] This line will set the colour of segment h to green.
