Transformations

Front

What is a transformation in geometry?

Back

A transformation in geometry refers to the movement of a shape in a plane. This can include translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations.

Front

What is a translation?

Back

A translation is a type of transformation that slides a shape from one position to another without turning it.

Front

What is a rotation?

Back

A rotation is a transformation that turns a shape around a fixed point, known as the center of rotation.

Front

What is a reflection?

Back

A reflection is a transformation that flips a shape over a line, creating a mirror image.

Front

What is a dilation?

Back

A dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a shape but keeps its proportions the same.

Front

What is the angle of rotation for a quarter turn?

Back

The angle of rotation for a quarter turn is 90 degrees.

Front

What is the angle of rotation for a half turn?

Back

The angle of rotation for a half turn is 180 degrees.

Front

What is the angle of rotation for a full turn?

Back

The angle of rotation for a full turn is 360 degrees.

Front

How do you find the missing angle in a triangle?

Back

To find the missing angle in a triangle, use the fact that the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.

Front

If one angle in a triangle is 82 degrees and another is 46 degrees, what is the measure of the third angle?

Back

The third angle is 52 degrees.
