Geometry Transformations and Properties

Faith Gilliland guides students through a geometry review packet, covering topics such as the midpoint formula, theorems, postulates, reflections, translations, rotations, and proving angle congruence. The video includes problem-solving techniques and explanations of key geometry concepts, helping students prepare for their exams.

What is a theorem in geometry?

• A definition of a geometric term

• A statement that is assumed to be true

• A postulate that is self-evident

• A statement that needs to be proven

How can you find a point that is 3/4 the distance from one point to another?

• Using the area formula

• Using the slope formula

What happens to a triangle when it is reflected over the y-axis?

• Both coordinates change sign

• The y-coordinates change sign

• The x-coordinates change sign
