Transformations and Dilations in Geometry

The video tutorial explains how to transform Figure A into Figure B through a sequence of transformations. First, Figure A is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2, reducing its size. Then, the resulting figure is reflected across the Y-axis to achieve the final transformation into Figure B.

What is the initial problem presented in the video?

• Finding the missing step in a sequence of transformations

• Determining the volume of a cylinder

• Calculating the area of a triangle

• Solving a quadratic equation

What is the scale factor used to dilate Figure A?

• 1/2

• 1/4

• 3

• 2

After dilating Figure A, what is the new coordinate of the point (-6, 0)?

• (0, 0)

• (-3, 0)

• (3, 0)

• (-12, 0)

What happens to the point (0, 0) after dilation?

• It moves to (0, 1)

• It remains at (0, 0)

• It moves to (1, 0)

• It moves to (-1, 0)

What transformation is needed after dilation to achieve Figure B?

• Rotation

• Translation

• Scaling

• Reflection

Which axis is used for the reflection to complete the transformation?

• X-axis

• Y-axis

• Z-axis

• Diagonal axis

What is the final step to achieve the correct transformation from Figure A to Figure B?

• Reflection across the y-axis

• Scaling by a factor of 2

• Rotation by 90 degrees

• Translation along the x-axis
