VectorCoordinate GeometryGeometric Construction
This example demonstrates the translation of a triangle using a vector. It involves core mathematical concepts such as vectors, geometric transformations, and coordinate geometry. The construction uses GeoGebra commands like Segment, Intersect, Vector, and Translate. Suitable for high school mathematics teaching and learning on geometric transformations.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Segment(A, B) → a
  2. Segment(C, B) → b
  3. Segment(C, A) → c
  4. Intersect(xAxis, yAxis) → D
  5. Vector((0, 0), (h, v)) → u
  6. Translate(A, u) → A'
  7. Translate(B, u) → B'
  8. Segment(A', B') → a'
  9. Translate(C, u) → C'
  10. Segment(B', C') → d
  11. Segment(C', A') → e
