TriangleVectorTransformationGeometric Construction
This example demonstrates how to translate a triangle using translation transformations. Key mathematical concepts include translation, vectors, and triangles. It uses commands like Polygon, Intersect, Vector, Translate, and Point in GeoGebra. Suitable for middle school and above students to learn geometric transformations.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Polygon(A, B, C) → poly1, c, a, b
  2. Intersect(xAxis, yAxis) → D
  3. Vector(D, E) → u
  4. Translate(A, u) → A'
  5. Translate(B, u) → B'
  6. Translate(C, u) → C'
  7. Polygon(A', B', C') → poly1', c', a', b'
  8. Intersect(xAxis, yAxis) → F
  9. Vector(F, G) → v
  10. Translate(A, v) → A'_1
  11. Translate(B, v) → B'_1
  12. Translate(C, v) → C'_1
  13. Polygon(A'_1, B'_1, C'_1) → poly1'_1, c'_1, a'_1, b'_1
  14. Point(b'_1) → H
  15. Point(xAxis) → I
  16. Vector(H, I) → w
  17. Translate(A, w) → A'_2
  18. Translate(B, w) → B'_2
  19. Translate(C, w) → C'_2
  20. Polygon(A'_2, B'_2, C'_2) → poly1'_2, c'_2, a'_2, b'_2
