Dilation Example by Rob Bowman
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example demonstrates the effect of a geometric dilation (scaling) on shapes. It involves core mathematical concepts such as dilation, scale factor, center of dilation, and coordinate geometry. Construction highlights the use of GeoGebra commands and objects like Line, Parabola, Polygon, and Center. Suitable for high school students learning geometric transformations and coordinate geometry.
