Transformations, Congruence & Similarity

Multiple Choice

Are the two angles below congruent?

• yes

• no

Multiple Choice

Are these triangles similar?

• Yes

• No

​Vocabulary

• Transformation - an operation that maps an original figure onto a new figure ​

• Original Figure - is called the PRE-IMAGE

• New Figure - is called the IMAGE​

• Rigid Transformation - a transformation that creates an image that is congruent to the pre-image. (translation, reflection, and rotation ONLY)​

THESE ARE THE ONLY 3 TRANSFORMATIONS THAT CREATE CONGRUENT IMAGES! RIGID TRANSFORMATIONS

​Types of Transformations

​Translation - a slide that moves all points in the same direction and same distance

​Reflection - a FLIP over a certain line, all points from the pre-image to image are the same distance apart.

​Rotation - a TURN around a fixed point, all points from the pre-image to image are the same distance apart.

​Intro to Dilations

​Key Concepts:

• A DILATION stretches of shrinks a figure.

  ​

• The CENTER OF DILATION never changes position. It is the starting point.

  ​

• ​The SCALE FACTOR tells you how much the dilation stretches or shrinks.

A DILATION is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape as the pre-image, but is a different size. Dilations create similar figures. 

• Scale factor is greater than 1​

• Image gets BIGGER​

Enlargement

• Scale factor is less than 1​

• ​Image gets SMALLER

​​Reduction

Multiple Choice
