HP Prime Geometry App Tutorial Part 6: Polygons
Drawing a Regular
Polygon
1. Clear the Plot
screen. Press (Cmds), 4 for Polygon, 9
for Regular Polygon.
2. Select one corner
and press [ Enter ].
3. Select another
corner point and press [ Enter ].
4. Enter the number
of sides of the regular polygon.
Drawing a General
Polygon
1. Press (Cmds), 4
for Polygon, 8 for Polygon.
2. Start with a
corner point and press [ Enter ]. Keep
going choosing corner points and pressing [ Enter ].
3. When you finished
plotting the final corner point, press [ Enter ] one last time. This connects the last corner point with the
first corner point. Hence, it is like
go to the final point and press [ Enter ] twice.
Finding Areas of the
Polygon
To recall, press (Cmds), 9 for Measure, 5 for Area. Select a polygon (when selected they turned
red) and press [ Enter ].
Next time, we will work with conic sections. Have a
great day,
