In collections Performing Transformations
This example demonstrates geometric transformations through translation. Key mathematical concepts include translation transformations, vectors, and coordinate transformations. Construction involves GeoGebra commands like Polygon, Intersect, Vector, Translate, and Segment. Suitable for middle school students learning geometric transformations or for math teaching support.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Polygon(A, B, C) → poly1, c, a, b
  2. Intersect(xAxis, yAxis) → D
  3. Vector(D, E) → u
  4. Translate(A, u) → A'
  5. Translate(B, u) → B'
  6. Translate(C, u) → C'
  7. Polygon(A', B', C') → poly1', c', a', b'
  8. Segment((0, 0), (x(E), 0)) → d
  9. Segment((0, 0), (0, y(E))) → e
  10. Segment(B', B) → f
  11. Segment(A', A) → g
  12. Segment(C', C) → h

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a triangle and then translate it using a vector to create a new triangle. Mark the origin on the axes and connect the vertices of the original and translated triangles to the origin with lines.
