Parallelogram

Tap at one vertex and press

E

. Tap at another vertex

and press

E

. Tap at a third vertex and press

E

.

The location of the fourth vertex is automatically calculated
and the parallelogram is drawn.

Rhombus

Draws a rhombus, given two points and an angle. As with

many of the other polygon commands, you can specify

optional CAS variable names for storing the coordinates of

the other two vertices as points.

rhombus(point1, point2, angle)

Example

rhombus(GA, GB, angle(GC, GD, GE)) draws a

rhombus on segment AB such that the angle at vertex A has
the same measure as ∡ DCE.

Rectangle

Draws a rectangle given two consecutive vertices and a point

on the side opposite the side defined by the first two vertices

or a scale factor for the sides perpendicular to the first side.

As with many of the other polygon commands, you can

specify optional CAS variable names for storing the

coordinates of the other two vertices as points.

rectangle(point1, point2, point3) or
rectangle(point1, point2, realk)

Examples:

rectangle(GA, GB, GE) draws a rectangle whose first

two vertices are points A and B (one side is segment AB).
Point E is on the line that contains the side of the rectangle
opposite segment AB.

rectangle(GA, GB, 3, p, q) draws a rectangle whose

first two vertices are points A and B (one side is segment AB).
The sides perpendicular to segment AB have length 3*AB.
The third and fourth points are stored into the CAS variables
p and q, respectively.

Polygon

Draws a polygon from a set of vertices.

polygon(point1, point2, …, pointn)

Example:

polygon(GA, GB, GD) draws ΔABD
