PolygonVectorGeometric Construction
This example demonstrates the effect of translation vectors on polygons, allowing dynamic adjustment of vector parameters to observe shape transformations. Core mathematical concepts include translation transformations, polygon construction, and vector operations. GeoGebra commands used are Distance, Polygon, and Translate. Suitable for high school mathematics teaching to understand the relationship between vectors and geometric transformations.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Distance(yAxis, xAxis) → c
  2. Polygon(A, B, C) → poly1, c_1, a_1, b_1
  3. Translate(A, γ) → A'
  4. Translate(B, γ) → B'
  5. Translate(C, γ) → C'
  6. Polygon(A', B', C') → poly1', c', a', b'
