Transformations in Geometry

The video tutorial covers the concept of composition of transformations, focusing on glide reflections. It provides examples using quadrilaterals and triangles, demonstrating how to apply translations, reflections, and rotations. The tutorial explains the process of graphing these transformations and highlights the importance of understanding each step to achieve the final image.

What is a composition of transformations?

• A reflection followed by a translation

• A series of transformations applied to a figure

• A single transformation applied to a figure

• A rotation followed by a reflection

Which of the following best describes a glide reflection?

• A rotation followed by a translation

• A translation followed by a reflection in a parallel line

• A reflection followed by a translation

• A reflection followed by a rotation

In the example of quadrilateral BGTS, what is the first step in the transformation process?

• Reflect over the x-axis

• Translate along vector (5, 0)

• Reflect over the y-axis

• Rotate 180 degrees

How do you determine the new coordinates after reflecting over the x-axis?

• Change the sign of the x-coordinate

• Add the same value to both x and y coordinates

• Subtract the y-coordinate from the x-coordinate

• Change the sign of the y-coordinate

What is the purpose of marking points with double primes in the transformation process?

• To indicate the original position

• To show the final position after all transformations

• To mark the midpoint of the transformation

• To highlight errors in the transformation

In the example of quadrilateral RSTU, what method is used to apply the translation?

• Algebraic method

• Graphical method

• Counting method

• Using a formula

What happens to the coordinates during a 180-degree rotation?

• They are doubled

• They become the opposite sign

• They switch places

• They remain unchanged

In the final example, what is the first transformation applied to triangle TUV?

• Translation along vector (3, 1)

• Reflection over the x-axis

• Translation along vector (-1, 5)

• Rotation around the origin

How do you find the new coordinates of a point after a translation along vector (3, 1)?

• Multiply the x-coordinate by 3 and the y-coordinate by 1

• Divide the x-coordinate by 3 and the y-coordinate by 1

• Subtract 3 from the x-coordinate and 1 from the y-coordinate

• Add 3 to the x-coordinate and 1 to the y-coordinate

What is the final coordinate of point L after a translation and a 180-degree rotation?

• (6, 1)

• (-6, -1)

• (3, 0)

• (-3, -1)
