Exploring Shape Transformations Quiz

Which of the following is a type of transformation that involves sliding a shape without rotating or flipping it?

• Reflection

• Translation

• Rotation

• Dilation

• Because both transformations result in the same final position of the shape.

• Because reflections and rotations are both rigid motions.

• Because the order of transformations does not matter.

What is the order of rotational symmetry for a regular hexagon?

• 2

• 3

• 4

• 6

• The shape is enlarged to twice its original size.

• The shape is reduced to half its original size.

• The shape is flipped over the x-axis.

• The shape is translated to a new position.

A rectangle is dilated by a scale factor of 3. If the original length of the rectangle is 4 units, what is the new length?

• 7 units

• 12 units

• 8 units

• 3 units

Which sequence of transformations will map a shape onto itself?

• A translation followed by a dilation

• A reflection followed by a translation

• A dilation followed by a reflection
