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.

AB

C

A'B'

C'

pre-image image

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.

Are the line segments in the pre-image and image the same length? In other words, was the size of the figure preserved?Both the pre-image and image are congruent.

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

Example: Move the figure left 2 units and up 5 units. What are the coordinates of the pre-image and image?

Rotations

Return to Table of Contents

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.

A

This figure is rotated 90 degrees

counterclockwise about point A.

B

This figure is rotated 180 degrees clockwise

about point B.

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

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.

Congruence and Similarity

Congruent shapes have the same size and shape.

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.

Similar shapes have the same shape, congruent angles and

proportional sides.

Special Pairs of Angles

Return to Table 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.

1. 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,

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 look at this another way...

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.
