Standard 10: Practical No 8

Practical No 8: Draw a regular polygon with 6 sides using ‘polygon’ tool in Geogebra.


Only the diagram given in the Output Section should be printed and put in the Journal.

The figures given in the Procedure are only for your understanding.


Aim

To draw a regular polygon with 6 sides using ‘polygon’ tool in Geogebra.

Theory

Geogebra has dual representation namely the Geometric View and the Algebraic View. One can construct or modify geometric figures in the geometric section and observe details about the constructed figures in the Algebraic Section. Furthermore constructions can also be performed by typing in the appropriate command in the Input Box.

Tools

  1. Regular Polygon Tool.

Procedure

1. Open Geogebra. Click on Tool No 4 and select “Regular Polygon.”

2. Click at any place in the Graphic Area where you want one end point ‘A’ of one side.

3. Click on another place in the graphic area where the other end of the first side (point B) should be.

See Figure 1.

4. In the box that appears type in the required number of sides of the polygon. (e.g., 6) and click OK.

See Figure 2.

5. The polygon having 6 sides will be drawn.

6. Save your file or print it if required.

See Figure 3.

Conclusion

Thus we have drawn a regular Polygon of 6 sides.
