Transformations

Return to Table of Contents

Any time you move, shrink, or enlarge a figure you make a transformation. If the figure you are moving (pre-image) is labeled with letters A, B, and C, you can label the points on the transformed image (image) with the same letters and the prime sign.

B

A A'

B' pre-image image

C C'

There are four types of transformations in this unit:

• Translations

• Rotations

• Reflections

• Dilations

The first three transformations preserve the size and shape of the figure.

In other words:

If your pre-image is a trapezoid, your image is a congruent trapezoid.

If your pre-image is an angle, your image is an angle with the same measure.

If your pre-image contains parallel lines, your image contains parallel lines.

Translations

Return to Table of Contents

A translation is a slide that moves a figure to a different position (left, right, up or down) without changing its size or shape and without flipping or turning it.

You can use a slide arrow to show the direction and distance of the movement.

This shows a translation of pre-image ABC to image A'B'C'.

Each point in the pre-image was moved right 7 and up 4.

To complete a translation, move each point of the pre-image and label the new point.

Rotations

A rotation (turn) moves a figure around a point. This point can be on the figure or it can be some other point. This point is called the point of rotation.

P

Rotation

The person's finger is the point of rotation for each figure.

When you rotate a figure, you can describe the rotation by giving the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) and the angle that the figure is rotated around the point of rotation.

Rotations are counterclockwise unless you are told otherwise.

Reflections

A reflection (flip) creates a mirror image of a figure.

A reflection is a flip because the figure is flipped over a line.

Each point in the image is the same distance from the line as the original point.

Dilations

Return to Table of Contents

A dilation is a transformation in which a figure is enlarged or reduced around a center point using a scale factor = 0.

The center point is not altered.

The scale factor is the ratio of sides:

When the scale factor of a dilation is greater than 1, the dilation is an enlargement.

When the scale factor of a dilation is less than 1, the dilation is a reduction.

When the scale factor is |1|, the dilation is an identity.

Example.

If the pre-image is red and the image is blue, what type of dilation is this? What is the scale factor of the dilation?

2 figures are congruent if the second figure can be obtained from the first by a series of translations, reflections, and/or rotations.

Remember - translations, reflections and rotations preserve image size and shape.

Special Pairs of

Angles

Of Contents

Recall:

• Complementary Angles are two angles with a sum of 90 degrees.

These two angles are complementary

angles because their sum is 90.

Notice that they form a right angle when placed together.

• Supplementary Angles are two angles with a sum of 180 degrees.

These two angles are supplementary

angles because their sum is 180.

Notice that they form a straight angle when placed together.

Vertical Angles are two angles that are opposite each other when two lines intersect.

Applying what we've learned to prove some interesting math facts...

We can use what we've learned to establish some interesting information about triangles.

For example, the sum of the angles of a triangle = 180.

Let's see why!

Given

ABC

B

A C

Let's draw a line through B parallel to AC.

We then have a two parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Number the angles and use what you know to prove the sum of the measures of the angles equals 180

since if 2 parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then alternate interior angles are congruent.

2.

is supplementary with since if 2 parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then same side interior angles are supplementary.

3. Therefore,

Let's look at this another way...

A C m n p

1.

and since if 2 parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then alternate interior angles are congruent.

2. Since all three angles form a straight line, the sum of the angles is 180

.

Let's prove the Exterior Angle Theorem -

The measure of the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles.

ABC B

Exterior Angle

Remote Interior Angles

Let's draw a line through B parallel to AC.

We then have a two parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Number the angles and use what you know to prove the measure of angle 1 = the sum of the measures of angles B and C.
