Steps to use the transformation command to create a rhombus on the geometric sketchpad

How to draw a rhombus in Geometry Sketchpad? PHP editor Yuzai brings you a tutorial on using the transformation command to create a rhombus on the geometric sketchpad. In the following article, we'll walk through how to draw a rhombus using the transform command, including creating a basic shape, applying the transform, and adjusting parameters to get the desired rhombus shape.

(1) Open the geometric sketchpad, use the line segment tool to first draw a line segment AB, and construct the midpoint C.

(2) Select point C and line segment AB, execute the [Construction]-[Perpendicular Line] command, so that the perpendicular line of line segment AB is actually drawn,

(3) Use the drawing point tool to draw a point D on the middle vertical line, hide the middle vertical line, and connect AD and BD.

(4) Make sure that only line segment AB is selected, execute the [Transform]-[Mark Mirror] command, (the same operation can also be completed by double-clicking line segment AB directly with the selection tool), mark the line segment AB is a mirror surface, which actually marks an axis of symmetry for later symmetry drawings.

(5) Make sure that the selected object has point D, line segment DB, and DA. Execute the [Transform]-[Reflection] command to make a symmetrical figure of the selected object about AB.

(6) Finally, hide the line segment AB and point C, thus completing the production of the rhombus.
