PolygonCoordinate GeometryTransformation
This example demonstrates the effect of dilation transformation on a polygon in a coordinate system. It involves core math concepts like dilation, similar figures, central symmetry, and coordinate geometry. Construction highlights include using GeoGebra commands: Polygon, Intersect, and Dilate. Suitable for high school geometry transformation lessons to help students understand the properties and applications of dilation transformations.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Polygon(A, B, C) → poly1, c, a, b
  2. Intersect(xAxis, yAxis) → D
  3. Dilate(A, 3, D) → A'
  4. Dilate(B, 3, D) → B'
  5. Dilate(C, 3, D) → C'
  6. Polygon(A', B', C') → poly1', c', a', b'
