Unit 3 Quiz Transformations

Which transformation is NOT a rigid transformation? (Hint: Which one does not preserve distance?)

• translation with 3 units to the right and 2 units down

• rotation of 270 degrees counterclockwise

• reflection along y=-2

• dilation with a scale factor of 1/3

Answer explanation

Rigid transformations do not get bigger or smaller.

Dilation is a non-rigid transformation
