Dilating a Polygon

Read the directions and complete the problems below.
Step 1: Create a polygon. This time, let's create a regular polygon. A regular polygon is a polygon is that has all sides equal and all angles equal.  A square is an example of a regular polygon.  [br] a) Click the polygon tool [icon]/images/ggb/toolbar/mode_polygon.png[/icon] and select regular polygon[icon]/images/ggb/toolbar/mode_regularpolygon.png[/icon]. [br] b) This tool will require you graph two points.  [b](graph any two points)[/b][br] c)  Then enter the number of vertices.  [b](let's do 6 for this example)[/b][br][br]Step 2: Decide which is your center of dilation. Use the point tool [icon]https://tube.geogebra.org/images/ggb/toolbar/mode_point.png[/icon] (2nd button) to plot a point, unless the point is a vertex of your polygon.  [br] Note: The point created needs to be dark blue.  If you get a black dot or a light blue dot, delete it.  Create a dot someplace else and move it to where you need it to be. [br][br]Step 3: Dilating[br]  a) Click [icon]https://tube.geogebra.org/images/ggb/toolbar/mode_mirroratline.png[/icon] (8th button) and choose dilating from a point [icon]/images/ggb/toolbar/mode_dilatefrompoint.png[/icon][br]  b) Click the polygon. [br]  c) Click the center of dilation[br]  d) Enter the scale factor.  [br][br]Note: If you move the vertices, the corresponding image point will appropriately change as well.  [br][br][b]Problem #1: D 5(ABCDEF) with (0, 0) as the center of dilation. [/b] [br][br][b]Problem #2:[/b][b]D 1/5 (ABCDEF) with as Point A. [/b][br][br][b]*Perform each transformation within this applet.  [br][br][/b]**Take a screen shot of your work (you will have problem #1 and problem #2 on one screenshot.)  Insert it into the appropriate google slide.  [br]***Geogebra will NOT save your work!!!!
