Understanding Transformations in Geometry

This video tutorial covers the concept of transformations, focusing on rigid transformations such as translation, reflection, and rotation. It explains the terminology used, including image and pre-image, and details the notation for each type of transformation. The video also introduces composition transformations, emphasizing the importance of the order in which transformations are applied.

What is a transformation in geometry?

• A change in the weight of a figure

• A change in the material of a figure

• A change in the position, shape, or size of a figure

• A change in the color of a figure

What is another name for rigid transformations?

• Reflection transformations

• Dilation transformations

• Similarity transformations

• Congruence transformations

Which of the following is NOT a type of rigid transformation?

What is the main characteristic of rigid transformations?

• They only change the position of the figure

• They change the color of the figure

• They change the size of the figure

• They change the shape of the figure

What is the term used when a transformation maps a figure onto itself?
