TRANSFORMATION RULES

Front

What is Dilation in transformations?

Back

Dilation is a transformation that alters the size of a figure but not its shape. It involves a scale factor that determines how much larger or smaller the figure will be.

What is Reflection in transformations?

Back

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

What is Rotation in transformations?

Back

Rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point, known as the center of rotation, by a certain angle.

What is Translation in transformations?

Back

Translation is a transformation that slides a figure from one position to another without changing its shape, size, or orientation.

What does a scale factor of 2 mean in Dilation?

Back

A scale factor of 2 means that the figure will be enlarged to twice its original size.

What does a scale factor of 0.5 mean in Dilation?

Back

A scale factor of 0.5 means that the figure will be reduced to half its original size.

How do you determine the angle of rotation?

Back

The angle of rotation is determined by how far the figure is turned around the center of rotation, measured in degrees.

What is the difference between clockwise and counterclockwise rotation?

Back

Clockwise rotation turns the figure in the same direction as the hands of a clock, while counterclockwise rotation turns it in the opposite direction.

Can a figure undergo multiple transformations?

Back

Yes, a figure can undergo multiple transformations, such as a rotation followed by a translation.
