Similarity Transformations of Polygons
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example demonstrates similarity transformations, particularly scaling of polygons. Key mathematical concepts include similarity transformations, polygons, and the scaling center. Using GeoGebra commands Polygon and Dilate, scaled polygons are constructed. Suitable for middle school and above students learning geometric transformations.
GeoGebra Commands & Parameters
Polygon(A, B, C) → poly1, c, a, bDilate(A, 2, (7, 7)) → A'Dilate(B, 2, (7, 7)) → B'Dilate(C, 2, (7, 7)) → C'Polygon(A', B', C') → poly1', c', a', b'
