In collections Congruence
This example demonstrates how to determine if two figures are congruent using the concept of geometric transformations. Key mathematical concepts include congruence and geometric transformations. Using GeoGebra commands such as Point, Segment, Rotate, and Polygon, you can construct and transform figures to explore congruence. Suitable for middle school and above students.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Point(xAxis) → A
  2. Segment(A, B) → a
  3. Segment(C, B) → b
  4. Segment(C, D) → c
  5. Segment(A, D) → d
  6. Rotate(A, 270*°, E) → A'
  7. Rotate(B, 270*°, E) → B'
  8. Segment(A', B') → a'
  9. Rotate(C, 270*°, E) → C'_1
  10. Rotate(B, 270*°, E) → B'_1
  11. Segment(C'_1, B'_1) → b'
  12. Rotate(C, 270*°, E) → C'
  13. Rotate(D, 270*°, E) → D'
  14. Segment(C', D') → c'
  15. Rotate(A, 270*°, E) → A'_1
  16. Rotate(D, 270*°, E) → D'_1
  17. Segment(A'_1, D'_1) → d'
  18. Polygon(A, B, C, D) → poly1, a_1, b_1, c_1, d_1
  19. Polygon(A', B', C'_1, D') → poly2, a'_1, b'_1, c'_1, d'_1

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a quadrilateral on a coordinate plane with one vertex on the x-axis, and connect its four vertices with line segments to form a closed shape. Then rotate this entire quadrilateral 270 degrees counterclockwise (i.e., 90 degrees clockwise) about a point outside the shape, producing a second quadrilateral. The two quadrilaterals have equal corresponding side lengths and equal corresponding angles, demonstrating congruence through rotation. Show both quadrilaterals, the rotation center, and all edges clearly.
