Geometry Software (DGS) that can display a variety of three-dimensional
geometric shapes, providing facilities to explore, investigate, interpret and
solve mathematical problems quite interactively (Oldknow & Tetlow,
2008). This software can also be used to build mathematical knowledge by
generating forms that resemble the authenticity of various models.
Cabri Software 3D allows users to build and manipulate solid
objects in 3D geometry such as prisms, pyramids, cylinders, and cones can
be built, rotated and viewed from a certain aspect and can be opened on
the monitor screen. Cabri 3D makes it easier for students to understand
geometry and algebra, to do measurement lengths, angles, areas and
volumes, and also to observe the effects of transformations such as
mirroring, rotating, shifting, or magnifying. (Kosaa & Karakus, 2010).
Cabri 3D preview
In general, the Cabri 3D program consists of a Menu, Toolbar, and
Drawing Area. The menu section displays File, Edit, Display, Document,
Window, and Help, as shown below.
The Toolbar section displays a toolbox that can be used to create
and modify a single figure. Toolbox consists of Manipulation, Points,
curves, Planes, Relative constructions, transformations, Polygons,
Polyhedra, and distance tools .
