Exploring Translations and Reflections of Polygons

What type of geometric transformation involves a shape moving without rotating or reflecting?

• Reflection

• Dilation

• Translation

• Rotation

In a translation, what is crucial about the direction of movement?

• It must be vertical

• It must be horizontal

• It can be any direction

• It must be diagonal

What transformation is demonstrated with the trapezoid in the video?

• Rotation

• Reflection

• Translation

• Scaling

Which transformation involves sliding an object along a straight path?

• Scaling

• Rotation

• Reflection

• Translation

How should a four-sided polygon be labeled to avoid errors?

• Sequential order around the shape

• Alphabetical order

• Based on size of angles

• Random order

What does it mean to reflect a shape in geometry?

• To rotate it around a point

• To flip it over a line

• To shift it to a new position

• To enlarge it proportionally

Which line is used as the axis of reflection for the triangle in the example?

• Line XY

• Line YZ

• Line AB

• Line BC

What is the result of reflecting an object over a line?

• The object rotates 90 degrees

• The object becomes larger

• The object appears reversed from the line

• The object is duplicated

How can the labeling of polygons with more than three sides be incorrect?

• Skipping vertices

• Labeling in a non-sequential order

• Labeling only three vertices

• Using only consonants

What is the correct way to label a triangle?

• Sequential order is mandatory

• Any order of vertices

• Always start with the smallest side

• Based on angle size
