Using the Geometry Application with Other Applications
(5)Press E.
•Notice that the solution is the same as the coordinates of point A.
•To show the coordinates of A, just select point A. Its coordinates will be displayed in the status bar.
Tip
•Try using this drag and drop method to find the point of intersection of two lines. This is a great way to find the solution to a system of equations.
•To view a fractional result as a decimal, tap the input row and then u.
•The information that appears when you drop a figure into another application depends on the figure you are dragging. Many of the possible outcomes are listed in the table below.
