Measurement Transfer - Texas Instruments Cabri Geometry II Manual Book

Measurement Transfer

The Measurement Transfer tool creates a point on a ray, on a vector, from the initial point of a
polygon, or from another point at a distance proportional to a selected measurement or numerical
value. From a point on a circle, the point created is at an equivalent arc length. The direction of the
distance or arc length depends on the sign of the selected numerical value.
The magnitude of the measurement transferred is represented without regard to units.
Creating a measurement transfer
1. Select Measurement Transfer from the Construct
toolbox.
2. Point to any measurement or numerical value and
click to select.
3. To construct:
4
a point at a proportional linear distance, select a
ray, vector, polygon, or point. If you select a
point, a dotted line appears. Position the dotted
line as you want it, and click to set the position.
4
a point at a proportional arc length away, select
a circle, and then select (do not create) a point
on the circle.
Select a
numerical value.
