Geometric Transformations Concepts

What is the primary characteristic of geometric transformations?

• Changing the color of a shape.

• Changing the size or shape of an object.

• Moving or altering an object's position or orientation.

• Adding new features to an object.

Which type of transformation involves sliding a shape from one place to another without changing its orientation or size?

• Rotation

• Reflection

• Translation

• Dilation

What is a transformation that involves flipping a shape over a line, creating a mirror image?

• Translation

• Rotation

• Reflection

• Shear

A transformation that turns a shape around a fixed point is known as a:

• Translation

• Reflection

• Rotation

• Glide

What characteristic defines rigid movements in transformations?

• They change the size of the object but not the shape.

• They preserve distances and angles.

• They always involve flipping the object.

• They only move objects horizontally.

What information is essential to translate a shape accurately?

• The color and texture of the shape.

• The line of reflection.

• The direction and distance of the movement.

• The center and angle of rotation.

After a shape has been translated, what is the resulting shape called?

• The original figure

• The image

• The pre-image

• The replica

To reflect a shape, what specific element must be known?

• The amount of slide.

• The line of reflection.

• The center of rotation.

• The new size of the shape.

What two pieces of information are necessary to perform a rotation of a shape?

• The direction of the slide and the distance.

• The line of reflection and the flip direction.

• The center of rotation and the angle of rotation.

• The original shape's area and perimeter.

In which of the following fields are transformations NOT typically used?

• Geometry

• Trigonometry

• Calculus

• Cooking
