This example demonstrates how to perform translation using GeoGebra. The key mathematical concept is geometric transformation, specifically translation. Using commands such as Segment, Circle, Point, Polygon, Angle, Vector, and Translate, the example constructs the effect of translation. Suitable for students at the junior high school level and above.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Segment(Q, R) → a
  2. Circle(Q, A) → c
  3. Point(c) → T
  4. Segment(Q, T) → b
  5. Polygon(Q, A, T) → poly1, t, q, a_1
  6. Angle(A, Q, T) → α
  7. Angle(A, T, Q) → β
  8. Angle(Q, A, T) → γ
  9. Vector(Q, Q + (1, 0)) → u
  10. Translate(Q, Vector[(u * Translate)]) → Q'
  11. Translate(A, Vector[(u * Translate)]) → A'
  12. Translate(T, Vector[(u * Translate)]) → T'
  13. Polygon(Q', A', T') → poly1', t', q', a'
