PolygonVectorCoordinate GeometryTransformationGeometric Construction
This example demonstrates 2D translation using vectors and constructs parallelograms dynamically. Key math concepts involve transformation, parallelogram construction, vector operations, and integers. GeoGebra commands like Polygon, Vector, and Translate are used to create and manipulate points, vectors, and shapes. Suitable for middle school and above, focusing on geometric transformations and vector basics.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Polygon(A, B, C, D) → poly1, a, b, c, d
  2. Vector(E, F) → u
  3. Vector(G, H) → v
  4. Translate(A, Vector[u + (2 * v)]) → A'
  5. Translate(B, Vector[u + (2 * v)]) → B'
  6. Translate(C, Vector[u + (2 * v)]) → C'
  7. Translate(D, Vector[u + (2 * v)]) → D'
  8. Polygon(A', B', C', D') → poly1', a', b', c', d'
