u To view the measurements of a line segment
1. Draw a line segment.
2. Tap u on the toolbar to display the measurement box.
3. Select the line segment.
• This displays the length of the line segment.
4. Tap the down arrow next to the
measurement box to cycle through other
measurements.
• In the case of the line segment, for
example, you can view its length, slope,
direction, and equation.
Specifying and Constraining a Measurement of a Figure
The following example shows how to specify and constrain (fix) an angle of a triangle. By “constraining a
measurement” we mean that it becomes fixed. For example, constraining (fixing) angle B of triangle ABC at 90
degrees will cause angle B to remain at 90 degrees regardless of where the apex is moved.
u To specify and constrain the measure of an angle of a triangle*
1. Draw the triangle, and then select its side AB and side BC.
2. Tap u on the toolbar to display the measurement box.
• This displays the measure of angle B in the measurement box.
