Identify the Transformation

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 is a translation?

Back

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

Front

What is a reflection?

Back

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

Front

What is a rotation?

Back

A rotation is a transformation that turns a shape around a fixed point at a certain angle.

Front

What is a dilation?

Back

A dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a shape but keeps its proportions the same.

Front

How do you identify a translation?

Back

A translation can be identified by observing that the shape has moved to a new location without changing its size or orientation.

Front

How do you identify a reflection?

Back

A reflection can be identified by checking if the shape appears as a mirror image across a specific line.

Front

How do you identify a rotation?

Back

A rotation can be identified by determining if the shape has turned around a point, maintaining its size and shape.

Front

How do you identify a dilation?

Back

A dilation can be identified by observing if the shape has increased or decreased in size while keeping its proportions.

Front

What is the effect of a 90-degree rotation on a shape?

Back

A 90-degree rotation turns the shape a quarter turn around the center point.
