This example demonstrates the graphical transformation of a triangle in a 2D plane under the action of a rotation matrix. Key mathematical concepts include rotation matrices, linear transformations, geometric transformations, vectors, and coordinate geometry. The construction utilizes GeoGebra commands such as Polygon, ApplyMatrix, angle θ, vertices A/B/C, polygon objects poly1/poly1', rotation matrix M, transformed vertices A'/B'/C', text annotations text1/text2, and auxiliary objects u/v/u'/v'. It is suitable for high school and university students studying linear algebra, geometric transformations, and matrix applications, as well as for introductory university mathematics teaching demonstrations.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Polygon(A, B, C) → poly1, c, a, b
  2. ApplyMatrix(M, A) → A'
  3. ApplyMatrix(M, B) → B'
  4. ApplyMatrix(M, C) → C'
  5. Polygon(A', B', C') → poly1', c', a', b'
