This example demonstrates the effect of dilation on a triangle. Core math concepts include scale factor, geometric transformation, and similar figures. Construction uses GeoGebra commands Polygon, Intersect, Ray; objects include points A, B, C, polygon poly1, c, a, b, ScaleFactor, points D, d, e, f, transformed points A', B', C', polygon poly2, c', a', b', g, h. Suitable for middle school and above students to learn about the properties of geometric transformations.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Polygon(A, B, C) → poly1, c, a, b
  2. Intersect(xAxis, yAxis) → D
  3. Ray(D, B) → d
  4. Ray(D, A) → e
  5. Ray(D, C) → f
  6. Polygon(A', B', C') → poly2, c', a', b'
