Exploring Properties of Transformations

What symbol is used to denote congruence?

• A greater than sign

• A simple squiggle mark

• A squiggle mark above an equal sign

• An equal sign

What does congruence focus on?

• Color and texture

• Material and weight

• Size and shape

• Position and orientation

What is the scale factor in a similarity transformation where one side is 2 and the transformed side is 4?

• 0.5

• 1

• 4

• 2

How do you determine a figure is a reflection and not a translation?

• By the color change

• By the orientation of the vertices

• By the scale factor

• By the increase in size

What does a similarity statement indicate?

• The figures are in different positions

• The figures have proportional sides and congruent angles

• The figures have the same color

• The figures are exactly the same

What transformation involves a change in size but keeps angles congruent?

• Rotation

• Translation

• Dilation

• Reflection

What is the result of reflecting a figure over the y-axis and then translating it 12 units up?

• Dilation

• Rotation

• Congruence

• Similarity

What is necessary to specify when describing a rotation transformation?

• The color change

• The direction and degrees of rotation

• The scale factor

• The axis of reflection

How do you determine the scale factor in a dilation?

• Multiply the original size by the new size

• Divide the original size by the new size

• Add the original size to the new size

• Divide the new size by the original size

Can a sequence of transformations result in a figure that is congruent to the original?

• Yes, if the color remains the same

• Yes, always

• No, never

• Yes, if the size and shape remain unchanged
