This video tutorial provides practice in identifying geometric transformations such as rotation, translation, reflection, and dilation. It includes examples of each transformation applied to different shapes, explaining how to recognize them by observing changes in size, position, and orientation. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the center of dilation and the effects of each transformation on geometric figures.

Which of the following is NOT a type of transformation discussed in the video?

• Translation

• Reflection

• Rotation

• Contraction
