Polygon Area Calculation and Geometric Construction
2014-10-16 04:08
This applet demonstrates polygon area calculation and geometric constructions. By defining points, segments, vectors, and polygons, and utilizing intersections and angles, it explores area solving methods for polygons like right triangles. It involves vectors, angles, and polygon properties, suitable for teaching plane geometry and area calculation.
