Choose a real solid (cube, box, etc...) and create a model in [i]GeoGebra 3D Calculator[/i].
[br][size=100]Choose the measurement tools to measure the length of the solids edges, the surface area, or the volume of your model.

You can create many different objects and place them around you as you walk around them. By using the [i]AR Ratio[/i], you can see the ratio between distance in the GeoGebra coordinate system to distance in the real world around you. Explore your constructions from a new perspective and compare virtual with real objects!
