Exploring Euclidean Procedures

1. The document discusses tools for drawing and manipulating geometric shapes in Euclid's Geometry software. 2. It describes how to draw polygons using the polygon tool, label points, rotate points, and draw line segments between points using the segment tool. 3. The reader is instructed to practice these skills by reproducing example geometric patterns and creating their own symmetrical patterns.

sides), dodecagon (12 sides).

2. To label the point.


• Right click on the point to be labeled. • If you right click on the point, you can:
→Choose ‘properties’. Destroy → for deleteing the point,
• In the ‘Properties’ window, type in the Hide → for hiding the point,
name of the point eg. P1, P2 etc.. Properties → for labeling the point,
Color → for changing the colour.
Part 1
4. ‘Segment (s)’ tool.
• To draw segments of a circle.
click the ‘Segment (s)’ icon
Click any two points, for example point
‘B’ and point ‘D’ as in diagram in
number 3:

5. Manipulating ‘Segment (s)’ tool.


Without a circle, you can create two
points, joint with a line by:
Clicking the ‘Segment (s)’ icon.
Click two different place in the layout.
