This example demonstrates how to describe the movement of a figure using translation. Key mathematical concepts include translation and vectors. Using GeoGebra commands such as TextField, Polygon, and Point, the example constructs a translation. Suitable for middle school and above students learning geometric transformations.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Textfield(ty) → inputBox2
  2. Polygon(D, E, F, G) → poly2, d, e, f, g
  3. Polygon(P, Q, R, S) → poly1, a, b, c, h
  4. Point(xAxis) → S'
  5. Polygon(P', Q', R', S') → poly3, a_1, b_1, c_1, h_1
  6. Textfield(tx) → inputBox1
