Find the Dilation
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example demonstrates how to perform a dilation using GeoGebra, specifically showing how to maintain the similarity of a figure through scaling. Key mathematical concepts include similarity transformation and scaling factor. The commands used include Polygon and Dilate. Suitable for high school geometry.
GeoGebra Commands & Parameters
Polygon(A, B, C, D) → poly1, a, b, c, dDilate(A, 1 / 3, E) → A'Dilate(B, 1 / 3, E) → B'Dilate(C, 1 / 3, E) → C'Dilate(D, 1 / 3, E) → D'Polygon(A', B', C', D') → poly1', a', b', c', d'
AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw a quadrilateral ABCD, then dilate it with a scale factor of 1/3 centered at point E to create a new quadrilateral A'B'C'D'. First, draw quadrilateral ABCD, then create point E as the center of dilation, and dilate points A, B, C, and D by 1/3 to get A', B', C', and D' respectively, and finally connect these points to form quadrilateral A'B'C'D'.
