Exploration of Basic Transformations by Muhammad Fakhri bin Ramley
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example illustrates four basic transformations: reflection, rotation, enlargement, and translation. Using GeoGebra commands such as Polygon, Dilate, Translate, etc., it provides a visual understanding of these transformations. Suitable for students at junior high school level and above.
