Map a Figure Onto Itself

Which transformation will map an image onto itself?

• A translation 3 units right and 3 units up

• A rotation 360^o clockwise

• A reflection over the y-axis followed by a translation 3 units down

• A dilation followed by a 90^o clockwise rotation

Answer explanation

A 360 degree rotation is a full rotation, which means. the figure ends up where it started.

The preimage above is rotated 90^o counterclockwise. How do the side lengths in the preimage compare to the side lengths in the image?

• Some of the side lengths increase in measure and other side lengths decrease in measure.

• The measures of the side lengths double.

• The measures of the side lengths decrease by one third.

• The measures of the side lengths are the same.

Answer explanation

A rotation is a rigid transformation, which means size is unchanged when applied. That means the side lengths are the same.

What will be the new position of the given point after rotating 90^o counterclockwise or 270^o clockwise?

• 
• 
• 
• 

Answer explanation

Counterclockwise follows the numbering scheme of the quadrants. If the preimage is in the bottom left quadrant (QIII), then the new image after a 90 degree counterclockwise rotation will be in the next quadrant (QIV) in the bottom right.

What is the scale factor that you must use to map FROG to F'R'O'G'?

Answer explanation

FROG is the larger figure and the preimage. F'R'O'G' is the smaller figure and the new image. This means the figure was dilated by a value less than 1 in order to get smaller.

The side lengths on F'R'O'G' are all half as long as those of FROG. This means FROG must have been dilated by

$\frac{1}{2}$ (or 0.5)

Which of the following transformations will carry figure onto itself? Hint: make up a random point (where x and y are different--not 1,1 or 2, -2) an try each transformation OR DRAW A PICTURE.

• A reflection across the line y=x and then a rotation of 90 degrees clockwise.

• A rotation of 450 degrees clockwise and then, a rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise.

• A reflection across the y-axis and then, a reflection across the x-axis.

• A translation 5 units down, 3 units right and then, a rotation of 180 degrees clockwise.
