Transformations and Congruent Figures in N-Gen Math 8

This video lesson by Kirk Weiler covers transformations and congruent figures, focusing on rigid motions such as reflections, rotations, and translations. Through exercises, students learn to map triangles using these transformations, identify sequences of transformations, and understand the relationship between congruent figures and rigid motions. The lesson concludes with a summary of key concepts.

What are the three types of rigid motions discussed in the video?

• Rotations, Dilations, and Translations

• Translations, Dilations, and Reflections

• Reflections, Rotations, and Translations

• Reflections, Rotations, and Dilations

What is the result of a 180-degree rotation about the origin?

• The figure is reflected across the y-axis

• The figure is translated to a new position

• The figure is reflected across the x-axis

• The figure is rotated to the opposite side of the origin

How can you determine if a transformation involves a reflection?

• By checking if the figure is rotated

• By checking if the figure is dilated

• By checking if the alphabetical orientation of the vertices is reversed

If a triangle is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin, what happens to its coordinates?

• The y-coordinates are negated

• The x-coordinates are negated

• The x-coordinates and y-coordinates are swapped and the new x-coordinates are negated
