What is a sequence of transformations?

Back

A sequence of transformations is a series of operations that move or change a shape in a specific way, including translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations.

What is a dilation in geometry?

Back

A dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure but not its shape, using a scale factor.

What does it mean for two figures to be congruent?

Back

Two figures are congruent if they have the same shape and size, meaning one can be transformed into the other using rotations, translations, or reflections.

What is a scale factor?

Back

A scale factor is a number that scales, or multiplies, the dimensions of a figure during a dilation.

What is a reflection in geometry?

Back

A reflection is a transformation that flips a figure over a line, creating a mirror image.

What is a rotation in geometry?

Back

A rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point, called the center of rotation, by a certain angle.

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation is a transformation that moves a figure from one location to another without changing its shape or orientation.

If a shape is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2, what happens to its size?

Back

The shape will be reduced to half its original size.

What is the result of reflecting a shape across the x-axis?

Back

The y-coordinates of the points of the shape are inverted, while the x-coordinates remain the same.
