Candy Cane Model and Exploration in GeoGebra AR
A special THANK YOU and shout-out to Mathieu Blossier, whose creative genius enabled me to write the top half of this candy cane using only 1 surface equation (versus 2).
The way I originally authored the surface equations was as follows (see pic below).
Note the blue surface is the top half of half the torus.
The pink surface is the half-cylinder.
1st Attempt
Yet Mathieu Blossier authored the equations seen in the screencast below.
Key Question:
How do the factors and enable this entire top half of the candy cane to be constructed by using only 1 surface equation? Explain.
