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 define.
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.

u To specify the length of one side of a triangle
Note
• Specifying any one of the following measurements for the first time in the file you are
editing (or immediately after an all clear operation: 2(Edit) – 6:Clear All) will cause the
resulting object to be resized so it fits within the display area.
- Length of one side of a triangle
- Length of a line segment or vector
- Length of one side of a rectangle, square, polygon, or regular n-gon
- Circumference of a circle or length of an arc
View Window settings will be reconfigured automatically so the size of the object on the
display may not appear to change very much.
The following example shows what happens when the length of the base of a triangle
drawn with default View Window settings (with a screen width of 10.7) is changed to 120.
/
View Window settings are reconfigured in order to ensure that specifying a measurement
of an object does not make it too bit to fit on the screen or too small to see. Note that all
other objects currently on the screen also will be resized by the same amount at the object
whose measurement you are specifying.
• Once you specify one measurement of an object, it will not be resized further if you specify
another of its measurements.
• In the following example, the length of the same side of a triangle will be specified twice.
Note the difference between what happens when you specify the first measurement and
when you specify the second measurement.

• You can repeat the above procedure to create multiple points that move simultaneously.
Try this:
- Draw a line segment and plot another point.
- Select the line segment and the point.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 above.
Notice that both animations go at the same time!
• To start a new animation, perform the procedure under “To replace the current animation
with a new one” below.
u To replace the current animation with a new one
1. Select the point and curve for the new animation.
2. Perform the following operation: 6(Animate) – 2:Replace Anima.
• This discards the current animations and sets up an animation for a new point and curve
set.
3. To execute the new animation, perform either of the following operations:
6(Animate) – 5:Go (once) or 6(Animate) – 6:Go (repeat)
4. To stop the animation, press J or o.
u To trace a locus of points
Note
Using trace leaves a trail of points when the animation is run.
Example:To use the Trace command to draw a parabola
A parabola is the locus of points equidistant from a point (the focus) and a line (the directrix).
Use the Trace command to draw a parabola using a line segment (AB) as the directrix and a
point (C) as the focus.
1. Draw a line segment AB and plot point C, which is not on line segment AB.
2. Plot point D, which should also not be on line segment AB, but should be on the same
side of the line segment as point C.
3. Draw a line segment that connects point D with point C.
4. Draw another line segment that connects point D with line segment AB. This is line
segment DE.
5. Select line segments AB and DE, and then press J.
• This displays the measurement box, which shows the angle between line segments AB
and DE.

13. Press o and then select point D.
20060601
6-4
Working with Animations
14. Perform the following operation: 6(Animate) – 3:Trace.
• This specifies point D (the one you selected in step 13) as the “trace point”.
15. Perform the following operation: 6(Animate) – 5:Go (once).
• This should cause a parabola to be traced on the display. Note that line segment AB is
the directrix and point C is the focus of the parabola.
Note
• All of the points that are currently selected on the screen become trace points when you
perform the following operation: 6(Animate) – 3:Trace. This operation also cancels Trace
for any point that is currently configured as a trace point.
• The calculator’s auto power off feature will turn off power if an animation is being
performed. If calculator power is turned off (either by auto power off or manually) while an
animation is being performed, the animation will be stopped.
u To edit an animation
Example:While the animation screen created with the procedure under “To trace a locus of
points”, use the Edit Animations screen to edit the animation
1. While the animation screen you want to edit is on the display, perform the following

Generating an Animation Table
Under default settings, an animation causes a specified point to move along a specified
line segment, circle, or arc in 20 steps.You can configure the calculator to generate a table,
called an “animation table”, which records the coordinates of each step, the length of the line
segment, the area of the object, etc.
Any of the following data can be added to the animation table: coordinates (x, y), distance/
length, slope, radius, circumference, perimeter, area, angle, supplementary angle, vector
segments (x, y), and expression.
u To add columns to the animation table
Example:Draw the triangle CDE with a base parallel to and a vertex (point D) located on
horizontal line AB. Next, generate an animation table that includes the length of
line segment CD and the area of the triangle as point D moves along line segment
AB.
1. Draw line segment AB and triangle CDE.
2. Select line segment AB and point D, and then perform the following operation:
6(Animate) – 1:Add Animation.
• This will add an animation effect that causes point D to move along line segment AB.
3. Here we will generate an animation table for the length of line segment CD, so first select
line segment CD.
4. Press J to display the measurement box.
• If the = icon does not appear on the left edge of the screen, highlight the up arrow to
the left of the measurement box and then press w. On the icon palette that appears,
select the = icon.

5. Press e to highlight the up arrow button on the right side of the measurement box and
then press w.
• This will display a menu.
6. Use f to move the highlighting to [Add Table] and then press w.
• This will display an animation table that shows the length of line segment CD at each
step of the animation in a column labeled “Length”.
7. Press J to close the animation table screen.
8. Press J again to make the drawing screen active.
9. Select sides CD, DE, and CE of the triangle.
10. Press J to display the measurement box.
• If the B icon does not appear on the left edge of the screen, highlight the up arrow to
the left of the measurement box and then press w. On the icon palette that appears,
select the B icon.
11. Perform steps 5 through 6 above.
• Now when the animation table appears, it will include the “Length” column we created in
step 6, long with a new “Area” column, which contains the area of triangle CDE at each
step of the animation.
• As can be seen here, the area of triangle CDE does not change as point D moves along
line segment AB, which is parallel to the base (CE) of the triangle.
