3.5 Bell Ringer - Transformations

Front

What is a transformation in geometry?

Back

A transformation in geometry is an operation that moves or changes a shape in some way to produce a new shape.

Front

What are the main types of transformations?

Back

The main types of transformations are translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations.

Front

What is a reflection in geometry?

Back

A reflection is a transformation that flips a figure over a line, creating a mirror image.

Front

How does a reflection affect the orientation of a figure?

Back

A reflection changes the orientation of a figure, making it different from the original.

Front

What is the distance between a pre-image and its image after a reflection?

Back

The distances between each pre-image and its image after a reflection are usually different.

Front

What is the effect of a rotation on the orientation of a figure?

Back

A rotation does not change the orientation of a figure; it remains the same.

Front

What is the order of points in a figure?

Back

The order of points in a figure refers to the sequence in which the vertices are arranged.

Front

How does a rotation affect the order of points in a figure?

Back

The order of points (orientation) after a rotation is the same as the original figure.

Front

What happens to the order of points after a reflection?

Back

The order of the points (orientation) of the image after a reflection is different than the pre-image.

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation is a transformation that moves every point of a figure the same distance in the same direction.
