Problem with parameter in point command

I have a problem with the point command.

https://www.geogebra.org/cl...

Point A moves on the sequence of polygons with the parameter s.

On the triangle (n=1) the point A reaches its starting position by s=.74

On the square (n=2) the point A reaches its starting position with s=.8

I think it should be 1 in all cases. Can you help me please?

As those are closed curves, the point usually starts at 0 and reaches the stating point again at 1.


but if you define polygon(A,B,C,A) this is a quadrilateral, the A is the point at 0 and at 0.75..1

you must define polygon(A,B,C) for a triangle
