0:00 Hello everybody

Welcome to this tutorial on Mensuration in Geogebra.

0:06 In this tutorial, we will learn to find
0:09 Area and perimeter of rhombus
0:12 Surface area of sphere and cone
0:15 Volume of sphere and cone
0:20 We assume that you have the basic working knowledge of Geogebra.
0:24 For Relevant tutorials on Geogebra,
0:27 Please visit our website
0:31 To record this tutorial I am using
0:33 Ubuntu Linux OS Version 11.10
0:38 Geogebra Version 3.2.47.0
0:42 We will use the following Geogebra tools
0:46 Segment between two points
0:48 Circle with center and radius
0:51 Ellipse
0:52 Polygon
0:54 New point and
0:56 Insert text
0:57 Let's open a new Geogebra window.
1:00 Click on Dash home and Media Apps. Under Type, choose Education and Geogebra
1:13 Let's find the area of a rhombus.
1:15 Let's use the file quadrilateral.ggb of the previous tutorial
1:20 Click on File, Open click on quadrilateral.ggb
1:27 click on 'Open'
1:29 Area of the Rhombus =1/2 * product of diagonals
1:34 To demonstrate it
1:36 Click on the “Insert text” tool
1:39 Click on the drawing pad

A text box opens

1:44 “Area of the rhombus =”+(1/2 g f)

Open the double quotes(“) type

Area of the rhombus = close the double quotes

'+' for concatenation open the brackets type

'1/2' space 'f' space 'g'

close the bracket

'f' and 'g' are the diagonals of the rhombus

2:09 Click Ok.
2:11 Area of rhombus is displayed here on the drawing pad.
2:14 Next, let's find Perimeter
2:17 Click on the “Insert text” tool
2:19 Click on the drawing pad.

A text box opens.

2:22 Open the double quotes(“) type

Perimeter of the rhombus =”+(4 a)

close double quotes '+' open the brackets

'4' space 'a' close the brackets

'a' is the side of the rhombus

2:44 Click Ok.
2:46 Perimeter of rhombus is displayed here on the drawing pad.
2:50 Let's now save the file.
2:53 Click on “File” and "Save As".
2:55 I will type the filename as "rhombus-area-perimeter"
3:12 Click on “Save”.
3:17 As an assignment i would like you

To find area and perimeter of trapezium,

3:22 use output of file “cons-trapezium.ggb”
3:27 Rename object 'g' as 'b'
3:30 Formula for area = (half sum of parallel sides) * (vertical height) = (a+b)/2* h
3:40 Formula for perimeter =(sum of the sides) =(a+b+c+d)
3:49 The output of the assignment should look like this.
3:54 Let's open a new Geogebra window to draw a sphere
3:58 Click on “File” , “New”
4:01 Click on the “Circle with center and radius” tool from the toolbar
4:06 Click on the drawing pad point 'A'

A text box opens.

4:11 enter value '2' for radius.
4:13 Click OK
4:15 A circle with center 'A' and radius '2cm' is drawn.
4:19 Select “New point” tool from tool bar mark a point 'B' on the circumference of the circle
4:26 Select “Segment between two points” tool
4:29 Join points 'A' and 'B' as radius of the circle
4:34 Let's draw an ellipse “CDE” in the horizontal direction,

to touch the circumference of the circle.

4:42 Click on “Ellipse” tool
4:45 Mark points 'C' and 'D' diagonally opposite to each other on the circumference

and a third point 'E' inside the circle

4:56 Here a sphere is drawn
4:59 Let's now find the Surface area of the sphere
5:03 Click on “Insert text” tool
5:05 Click on the drawing pad.

A text box opens

5:08 Please find the special characters in the drop down list in the text box

Scroll down to find π (pi)

5:17 open double quote type

“ Surface area of the sphere =” +( 4 π a2)

close double quote 'plus' open the bracket '4' space

select 'π' from the list space

'a' select 'square' from the list

close the bracket

5:45 Click OK
5:47 surface area of the sphere is displayed here
5:52 let me click on it and drag it place it below
5:56 Next let's find Volume
5:59 Click on the 'Insert Text' tool
6:00 click on the drawing pad

Text box opens

6:03 open double quote type

“ Volume of the sphere =” +(4/3 π a^3)

close double quote 'plus' open the bracket '4/3' space

select 'π' from the list space 'a'

select 'cube' from the list close the bracket

6:31 click OK
6:34 Volume of the sphere is displayed here
6:36 let me click on it and drag it to place it below
6:40 Next let's draw a cone
6:43 Click on “Polygon” tool
6:45 Click on points 'C' , 'D' and an external point 'F'

and 'C' once again

6:53 Select “Segments between two points” tool

join points 'F' and 'A'

6:59 We get height of the cone.


7:03 Let me rename the object 'b' as 'h' which denotes height of the cone
7:08 Right click on object 'b'
7:09 Click on “Rename”
7:11 Replace 'b' with 'h' click OK
7:15 Let me also

Rename the object 'c_1' as 's' which denotes slant height of cone.

7:21 Right click on object 'c_1'
7:23 click on “Rename”
7:24 Replace 'c_1' with 's'
7:26 Click OK
7:28 Let's find now surface area and volume of the cone,
7:33 We can use either the Insert text tool from the tool bar or we can use the input bar.

I will use the “Input bar”

7:40 Please find the special characters in the drop down list of the “Input bar”
7:44 Scroll down to find “π”
7:48 Type in the input bar

Area = (π a s + π a²)

Surfacearea = open the bracket

Select 'π' from the list space 'a' space 's'

plus select 'π' from the list space 'a'

Select 'square' from list close the bracket

press enter

8:15 Surface Area of the cone is displayed in the Algebra view
8:20 Please note when we use the Input bar

answer appears in the Algebra view

8:26 Let's find Volume
8:29 Volume =(1/3 π a² h)

Volume =open bracket

'1/3' space select 'π' from the list space 'a'

Select 'square' from list space 'h' close the bracket

Press enter

8:50 Volume of the cone is displayed here in the Algebra view
8:55 Lets now save the file. Click on file "Save As".

I will type the file name as "Sphere-cone"

9:08 Click on “Save”.
9:10 with this we come to the end of this tutorial
9:14 Let us summarize
9:18 In this tutorial we have learnt to find
9:20 Area and perimeter of rhombus
9:24 Surface Area of sphere and cone
9:27 Volume of sphere and cone
9:30 We have also learnt to draw sphere and cone
9:36 As an assignment I would like you to find Surface area and volume of cylinder
9:43 Draw 2 ellipses of same sized one below the other
9:47 Connect edges of ellipses
9:50 Use “center” tool, find center of one ellipse
9:54 Join center and edge.
9:56 Rename object 'b' as 'h' and 'e' as 'r'
10:01 Surface area = 2 π r(r + h)
10:07 Volume = π r^2h
10:13 The output of the assignment should look like this.
