Adding Shapes to Graphs

You can add a shape to a graph, and then display the coordinates of its vertices.

To add a shape to a graph

1. Create a shape, draw a shape, insert a regular polygon or insert an irregular polygon.

2. Press the shape and drag it over the graph.

To display the coordinates of the shape's vertices

1. Select the shape.

2. Press the shape's menu arrow, and then select Show/Hide Vertex Points.

NOTE: To hide the coordinates, press the shape's menu arrow, and then select Show/Hide Vertex Points again.

To display side lengths

1. Select the shape.

2. Press the shape's menu arrow, and then select Show/Hide Side Lengths.

SMART Notebook Math Tools calculates the lengths based on the graph’s units.

To reflect the shape

1. Select the shape.

2. Press the shape’s menu arrow, and then select Reflect Shape.

3. Select Reflect over X=0, Reflect over Y=0, Reflect over Y=X or Reflect over Y=-X.

A reflection of the shape appears on the graph. The original shape doesn't move.
