6.4 Sequence of Transformations

Front

What is a transformation in geometry?

Back

A transformation is an operation that moves or changes a shape in some way to produce a new shape.

Front

What is a translation?

Back

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

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 rotation?

Back

A rotation is a transformation that turns a shape around a fixed point at a certain angle.

Front

What is the difference between a reflection over the x-axis and the y-axis?

Back

Reflection over the x-axis flips the shape vertically, while reflection over the y-axis flips it horizontally.

Front

What does a 90° clockwise rotation do to a shape?

Back

A 90° clockwise rotation turns the shape 90 degrees to the right around a fixed point.

Front

What does a 90° counterclockwise rotation do to a shape?

Back

A 90° counterclockwise rotation turns the shape 90 degrees to the left around a fixed point.

Front

What is the sequence of transformations?

Back

The sequence of transformations is the order in which multiple transformations are applied to a shape.

Front

How can you determine the result of multiple transformations?

Back

You can determine the result by applying each transformation step-by-step in the given order.

Front

What is dilation in geometry?

Back

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