Transformations in Geometry

The video tutorial explains three types of geometric transformations: rotation, translation, and reflection. It describes each transformation in detail, using examples and technical terms. The tutorial also explores how these transformations can be combined to create new effects, such as combining reflections to achieve a translation or rotation.

What is the technical term for the transformation where a shape is turned around a point?

• Translation

• Reflection

• Rotation

• Scaling

Which of the following is an informal term for rotation?

• Mirror

• Spin

• Flip

• Slide

What is the technical term for the transformation where a shape is moved in a straight line?

• Reflection

• Translation

• Distortion

• Rotation

Which arrow type is used to indicate a translation?

• Straight arrow

• Zigzag arrow

• Dotted arrow

• Curved arrow

What is the technical term for the transformation where a shape is flipped over a line?

• Translation

• Rotation

• Scaling

• Reflection

What is another informal term for reflection?

• Turn

• Slide

• Mirror

• Spin

When reflecting a shape, what is the line across which the reflection occurs called?

• Axis of symmetry

• Axis of translation

• Axis of rotation

• Axis of reflection

What transformation results from combining two reflections in the same direction?

• Distortion

• Rotation

• Translation

• Scaling

What transformation can result from combining reflections in different directions?

• Scaling

• Translation

• Rotation

• Distortion

What is the result of reflecting a shape twice in different directions?

• Distortion

• Translation

• Rotation

• Scaling
