Directions for USING the INPUT box underneath the grid.

Dilate ABCD from point Z with a magnitude of 2. Step 1: Copy - Z = (-3, 3) , then paste into the INPUT box. The point for A will be plotted on the grid. Repeat for the following 4 points, Copy each point seperately A = (6,0) B = (3,4) C = (-3,0) D = (2,-2) Step 2: Use the polygon tool Toolbar Imageto form the quadrilateral ABCD. Step 3: Use the RAY tool Toolbar Image, for ZA; ZB; ZC; ZD Step 3: Copy - Dilate( polygon( A, B, C, D ), 2 ) and then paste into the INPUT box.
