TriangleVectorTransformation
This example demonstrates the similarity transformation of a triangle. It involves the core mathematical concepts of similarity transformation and vectors. By using GeoGebra commands Polygon and Dilate, a triangle and its similarity transformation can be constructed. Suitable for middle and high school students to learn about the concept of similarity transformation.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Polygon(A, B, C) → poly1, c, a, b
  2. Dilate(A, 2, D) → A'
  3. Dilate(B, 2, D) → B'
  4. Dilate(C, 2, D) → C'
  5. Polygon(A', B', C') → poly1', c', a', b'
