SWW TS.3 Dilations Create Similar Figures
This example demonstrates how to map one figure onto another using a sequence of transformations, including a dilation. Key mathematical concepts include the properties of similar figures. Using GeoGebra commands such as Polygon and objects A, B, C, etc., the transformation process is constructed. Suitable for middle school and above students to learn about similarity transformations and geometric construction.
GeoGebra Commands & Parameters
Polygon(A, B, C) → poly1, c, a, bPolygon(E, D, F) → poly2, f, e, d
