Exploring Transformations in Geometry

What does a transformation in mathematics involve?

• Changing a set of points into another set of points

• Solving equations

• Drawing shapes

• Calculating areas

What is a translation in the context of transformations?

• Rotating a shape around a point

• Reflecting a shape across a line

• Changing the color of a shape

• Moving all points of a shape the same distance in the same direction

Which transformation involves moving points in the same direction and amount?

• Scaling

• Rotation

• Translation

• Reflection

What does rotating a shape around a point D demonstrate?

• Scaling

• Rotation

• Reflection

• Translation

What is the image of a transformation?

• The original shape before transformation

• The shape after applying a transformation

• A mirror image of the shape

• A rotated version of the shape

What is the result of reflecting a shape across a line?

• The shape gets larger

• The shape rotates 90 degrees

• The shape changes color

• The shape becomes its mirror image

What are rigid transformations characterized by?

• Altering the color of shapes

• Changing the size of shapes

• Creating new shapes

• Preserving lengths and angles

What transformation does not preserve the shape's size?

• Translation

• Rotation

• Scaling

• Reflection

In what fields are transformations especially important?

• Literature and writing

• Biology and chemistry

• History and geography

• Mathematics and computer graphics

What is the significance of a graphics processor in relation to transformations?

• It enhances the computer's memory

• It improves the computer's speed

• It increases the computer's storage capacity

• It is specialized in performing mathematical transformations
