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.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Polygon(C, D, B) → poly1, b, c, d
  2. Dilate(C, a, A) → C'_1
  3. Dilate(D, a, A) → D'_1
  4. Dilate(B, a, A) → B'_1
  5. Polygon(C'_1, D'_1, B'_1) → poly1'_1, b', c', d'
