Page 3: 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.
