Problems:
1. If the triangle A (1, 1) B (2, 1) C (1, 3) is scaled by a factor 2, find the new coordinates of the triangle.
2. Translate the rectangle(2,2),(2,8),(10,8),(10,2),2 units along x-axis and 3 units along y-axis.
3. Rotate a rectangle (0,0),(2,0),(2,2),(0,2), 30 degree CCW about its centroid and find the new coordinates of the rectangle.
4. Point A = [1 3 1 1] T is translated by Tr = [1 1 1] T, rotated about its x-axis 90o and then rotated about y-axis 45o. What is the object coordinates in frame O.
5. Plot four control points for a Bezier curve in a plane at (0, 0), (1, 2), (2,-3) and
(5, 0). Draw the Bezier approximation for these points by both sketching and plotting points. Sketch the convex polygon formed by these points.

    A CAD model can quickly display an engineer’s ideas in a realistic way. And those models can be used to generate technical drawings that can communicate the information necessary to make the idea a reality. In order to generate a 3D model, designs must start with sketches that are generated within the CAD program. These computer generated sketches will appear resemble hand drawn sketches in geometry (the combination of points, lines, and shapes), but have big advantages over hand drawn sketches. One important difference between a freehand sketch and a CAD sketch is accuracy. The lines of a CAD sketch can be drawn perfectly straight, with start and end points that occur in exact locations in space. By using numeric (dimensional) constraints a line may also be given precise length, placed a specific distance from another sketch feature, or constrained to be oriented at a specific angle from another straight line. By applying geometric constraints a line can be made perfectly horizontal or vertical. If more than one line is being sketched, they can be made perfectly parallel or perpendicular, collinear, or equal in length. Lines can be constrained to be tangent to circles or arcs, and two circles can be constrained to be concentric. In order to precisely model a part, the designer must be able to use dimensional and geometric constraints within the CAD program.…

    A general point P can reached by traveling a distance x along a line O-X, and then a distance y along a line parallel to O-Y. O-X is called the x-axis, O-Y the y-axis, and the point P is said to have Cartesian coordinates (x, y). In the coordinate system shown, as is indicated in the diagram, the x-coordinate is positive for points above the right of the y-axis and negative for points to the left of this axis. The y-coordinate is positive for points above the x- axis and negative points below it. The coordinates of the origin are (0,…
