geometry[square] - define a square
Calling Sequence
square(Sq, [A, B, E, F] )
Parameters
Sq
-
the name of the square
A, B, E, F
four points
Description
A square is an equilateral and equiangular parallelogram.
A square Sq is defined by a list of four given points in the correct order. For a list of four points , the condition is that the segments AB, BE, EF, and FA must make a square.
To access the information relating to a square Sq, use the following function calls:
form(Sq)
returns the form of the geometric object
(i.e., square2d if Sq is a square).
DefinedAs(Sq)
the list of four vertices of Sq.
diagonal(Sq)
the distance of the diagonal of Sq.
detail(Sq)
returns a detailed description of the object Sq.
The command with(geometry,square) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
Examples
define four points A(0,0), B(1,0), C(1,1) and F(0,1)
define the square Sq that have A, B, C, F as its vertices
