This example demonstrates the concept of dilation. Key mathematical concepts include geometric transformations, specifically scaling. Using GeoGebra commands Polygon and Dilate, the scaled figure is constructed. Suitable for middle school and above students learning geometric transformations.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Polygon(A, B, D, R) → poly1, a, b, c, d
  2. Dilate(A, k, X) → S
  3. Dilate(B, k, X) → H
  4. Dilate(D, k, X) → C
  5. Dilate(R, k, X) → E
  6. Polygon(S, H, C, E) → poly1', a', b', d', r'
