Translations

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation is a type of transformation that moves every point of a shape the same distance in a specified direction.

Front

What does it mean for a translation to be congruent?

Back

A translation is congruent, meaning the shape and size of the figure remain the same after the transformation.

Front

If point X is at (1, 2), where will it be after translating 3 units left and 9 units down?

Back

(-2, -7)

Front

How do you translate a point (x, y) 5 units to the right and 3 units up?

Back

(x+5, y+3)

Front

What is the result of translating triangle ABC down 9 units and right 4 units?

Back

Triangle A'B'C' will be the new position of triangle ABC after the translation.

Front

If trapezoid ABCD is translated 8 units down and 5 units to the right, what are the new coordinates of point A if A is at (2, 3)?

Back

(7, -5)

Front

What is the translation rule for moving a point (x, y) to the left by 2 units and down by 5 units?

Back

(x-2, y-5)

Front

How do you determine the new coordinates after a translation?

Back

Add or subtract the translation values from the original coordinates.

Front

What is the effect of translating a shape on its area?

Back

The area of the shape remains unchanged after a translation.

Front

If triangle A'B'C' is at (3, 4), (3, 6), (5, 4), how do you translate it to triangle ABC at (1, 2), (1, 4), (3, 2)?

Back

Translate left 2 units and down 2 units.
