Geometric Construction of a Concave Square

2019-07-23 08:26

This GeoGebra applet demonstrates the geometric construction of a concave square. The author primarily utilizes the Sequence command to systematically iterate and array basic line or segment objects (such as l1 and l2), creating a square pattern with an optical illusion or inward-concave effect. This example intuitively illustrates how to use algebraic sequence tools to assist in complex plane geo
