• 1/2

Which of the following statements is true?  (8.10A)

• A reflection over the x-axis will preserve the orientation of the pre-image figure but not the size.
• A 180° rotation clockwise is the same as a 180° counterclockwise rotation.
• A dilation will preserve the size but not the orientation of the figure. 
• A translation will preserve a figure’s orientation but not the size.

Which proportion is true? (8.3A)

• $\frac{21}{x}=\frac{10}{18}$

• $\frac{10}{15}=\ \frac{21}{x}$

• $\frac{x}{21}=\ \frac{15}{10}$

• $\frac{21}{x}=\ \frac{15}{10}$

(8.10B) To preserve the congruence of an image means to

• change the shape and size

• rotate the figure

• remain the same size

• reflect the figure

To change the orientation of an image means to

• change the way a figure is facing

• change the size of a figure

• change the shape of a figure

• slide across the y-axis
