Geometry Mode Overview

1. Geometry Mode Overview

The Geometry Mode allows you to draw and analyze geometric objects. You can draw a

triangle and specify values to change the size of its sides so they are 3:4:5, and then check

the measurement of each of its angles. You can also lock the coordinates of a point or the

length of a line segment, and you can draw a circle and then draw a line that is tangent to a

particular point on the circle. The Geometry Mode also includes an animation feature that lets

you watch how an object changes in accordance with conditions you deﬁ ne.

Geometry Mode Menus

Unlike other modes, the Geometry Mode does not have function menus along the bottom of

the screen. Instead, it uses menus named [F1] through [F6] and [OPT], like the ones shown

below.

The following is a general explanation of Geometry Mode menus.

• Pressing a key that corresponds to a menu ([F1] through [F6] or [OPT]) will display the

menu for that tab.

• After displaying a menu, use e and d to move between menu screens.

• To close a menu without selecting anything, press J.
