Making the impossible possible | Construction of the Penrose Triangle

The Penrose Triangle (also tribar) is a well-known optical illusion, which cannot exist in reality. But we will find out that it is all a matter of perspective. Use the following plan sketches to reconstruct a tribar in GeoGebra 3D.

You can do the construction either in the following web applet or directly in GeoGebra. Here are two more tips for the construction:

The command can be used to complete points that form a plane polygon into a prism that passes through another point.
It can be helpful to enter the coordinates of individual points manually via the algebra window.

Under the following links, you will find a finished tribar constructed in GeoGebra.
