Rigid Transformations in Geometry

The video tutorial covers rigid transformations in geometry, focusing on rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations. It explains the rules for each transformation type and how they affect congruence. The tutorial also includes examples of identifying non-congruent transformations and using rigid motions to prove congruence.

What is the primary focus of rigid transformations in geometry?

• Changing the size of shapes

• Maintaining the size and shape of figures

• Altering the color of figures

• Transforming 2D shapes into 3D

Which of the following is NOT a rigid transformation?

• Dilation

• Translation

• Rotation

• Reflection

What happens to a point during a 90-degree rotation?

• The order of coordinates is switched, and the sign of the first coordinate is changed

• The point remains unchanged

• The point is moved to the origin

• The coordinates are flipped and both signs are changed

How are the signs of coordinates affected in a 180-degree rotation?

• Only the x-coordinate sign is flipped

• Both signs are flipped

• Only the y-coordinate sign is flipped

• The signs remain unchanged

During a 270-degree rotation, what happens to the coordinates?

• The coordinates are switched, and both signs are changed

• The order remains the same, and both signs are changed

• The order is switched, and the sign of the second coordinate is changed

• The point is moved to the origin

What is the result of reflecting a point over the y-axis?

• The x-coordinate sign is changed

• The y-coordinate sign is changed

• The point remains unchanged

• Both coordinates are switched

When reflecting over the x-axis, which coordinate's sign is altered?

• Both coordinates

• Only the x-coordinate

• Only the y-coordinate

• Neither coordinate

What happens to the coordinates when reflecting over the line y = x?

• The order of coordinates is switched, but signs remain the same

• Both coordinates are switched and signs are changed

• The x-coordinate sign is changed

• The y-coordinate sign is changed

In a translation, what operation is performed on the coordinates?

• Multiplication by a scale factor

• Changing the signs of coordinates

• Addition or subtraction of values

• Switching the order of coordinates

What is the key factor to determine before performing a dilation?

• The direction of translation

• The angle of rotation

• The line of reflection

• The scale factor
