Understanding Geometric Transformations

What happens to a shape during a translation?

• It changes size

• It rotates around a point

• It reflects across a line

• It moves to a new location without changing size or angles

What is the role of the line of symmetry in a reflection?

• It divides the shape into unequal parts

• It changes the size of the shape

• It is the axis along which the shape is mirrored

• It determines the rotation degree

What does it mean to rotate a shape 90 degrees clockwise?

• The shape moves 90 units to the right

• The shape flips over

• The shape turns in the direction similar to a clock's hands

• The shape expands in size

What is the correct description of a rotation?

• A shift to a new position on the grid

• An increase in the size of the shape

• A flip over a line

• A turn around a point by a certain number of degrees

If a shape is translated 5 units left and 4 units up, where is it now?

• 5 units right and 4 units down from the original

• At the same place as it started

• 5 units left and 4 units up from the original

• 5 units left and 4 units down from the original

How does a shape change when it is reflected over the y-axis?

• It increases in size symmetrically

• It rotates 180 degrees

• It mirrors to the opposite side of the y-axis

• It moves to the right side of the y-axis

How do you determine the new position of a shape after a translation?

• By changing its color

• By moving it a specified number of units in a given direction

• By measuring the distance from the line of symmetry

• By rotating it around a central point

In a reflection, how is the distance of the shape parts from the line of symmetry?

• Different for each part

• The same for all corresponding parts

• Irrelevant to the reflection

• Based on the shape's color

What remains unchanged in both reflections and transformations?

• The position on the grid

• The angles of the shape

• The color of the shape

• The number of sides

What does a 37 degrees counterclockwise rotation imply?

• The shape expands by 37%

• The shape turns opposite to a clock's hands by 37 degrees

• The shape moves 37 units to the left

• The shape splits into multiple parts
