Drawings, Constructions, and Drag Test

Discussion

What is the difference between a drawing and a construction? Adrawing is only a connection of points and lines that can be shaped in the form of a geometric figure, while a construction is a solid object with constraints and properties. What is the “drag test” and why is it important? To see if the construction is fully defined. Tocheck if the construction is correct. Why is it important to construct figures instead of just drawing them in interactive geometry software? To be able to work with them, so the construction can influence other objects and vice versa. What do we have to know about the geometric figure before we are able to construct it using dynamic mathematics software? Dimensions,number of vertices.
