Gr8 - Similar Figures, Translation and Reflection

Front

What are similar figures?

Back

Similar figures are shapes that have the same shape but may differ in size. Their corresponding angles are equal, and their corresponding sides are in proportion.

What is a transformation in geometry?

Back

A transformation is an operation that moves or changes a shape in some way to produce a new shape. Common transformations include translation, reflection, rotation, and enlargement.

What is translation in geometry?

Back

Translation is a type of transformation that slides a figure from one position to another without turning it. The shape and size remain the same.

What is reflection in geometry?

Back

Reflection is a transformation that flips a figure over a line, creating a mirror image of the original figure.

What is the X-axis?

Back

The X-axis is the horizontal line in a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero. It is used to measure the horizontal position of points.

What is the Y-axis?

Back

The Y-axis is the vertical line in a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero. It is used to measure the vertical position of points.

How do you find the corresponding side in similar triangles?

Back

To find the corresponding side in similar triangles, use the ratio of the lengths of the sides of the triangles.
