In collections Congruence Review 1
This example demonstrates how to define congruent segments using geometric transformations. Core math concepts include geometric transformations, congruence, vectors, and angles. GeoGebra commands and objects like Segment, Point, Dilate, Vector, Line, Translate, Angle, Rotate, Circle, Intersect, CircleSector are used in the construction. Suitable for middle school and above students to learn geometric transformations and congruence.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Segment(A, B) → a
  2. Point(Circle[C, a]) → D
  3. Segment(C, D) → b
  4. Dilate(A, If[0 < c ≤ 1, 1 - c, 0], D) → A'
  5. Vector(A, A') → u
  6. Line(A, D) → d
  7. Vector(A, D) → v
  8. Translate(A, v) → A'_2
  9. Translate(B, v) → B'_1
  10. Segment(A'_2, B'_1) → a'_1
  11. Angle(C, D, B'_1) → α
  12. Translate(A, u) → A'_1
  13. Translate(B, u) → B'
  14. Segment(A'_1, B') → a'
  15. Rotate(A'_1, If[1 < c ≤ 2, ((-(c - 1)) * α), (-α)], A'_1) → E
  16. Rotate(B', If[1 < c ≤ 2, ((-(c - 1)) * α), (-α)], A'_1) → B''
  17. Segment(E, B'') → a''
