Chapter 8: Geometry Application

Using the Geometry Application with Other 
Applications
You can display the Geometry application from within the eActivity or Main application. This feature allows 
you to visualize the relationship between Algebra and Geometry. You can, for example, drag a figure from the 
Geometry window to the eActivity window to see its corresponding mathematical expression. 
Drag and Drop
When you open Geometry within another application, you can drag and drop information between the two 
application windows. You can see an actual example ( 
 0242 
 ) of how this is done using the Main application in 
Chapter 2 of this manual.
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.

see “Inserting a Geometry Link Row” on page 177.
Copy and Paste
In addition to drag and drop, you can also copy figures or columns from an animation table and paste them into 
another application.
