Exploring Reflections, Rotations, and Transitions in Geometry

What are the three types of transformations discussed in Chapter 7?

• Scaling, Shearing, and Reflecting

• Reflections, Rotations, and Translations

• Translations, Dilations, and Reflections

• Rotations, Translations, and Dilations

What is the key characteristic of a translation?

• The shape changes size

• The shape flips over

• The shape moves but maintains its orientation

• The shape rotates around a point

In a translation, if point A is on the left and point B is on the right, what happens when the shape is moved?

• Point A and point B switch places

• Point A remains on the left and point B remains on the right

• Point A moves to the right and point B moves to the left

• Point A moves to the top and point B moves to the bottom

How can you identify a reflection?

• The shape moves but maintains its orientation

• The shape changes size

• The shape rotates around a point

• The shape flips over like a mirror image

What happens to the positions of points in a reflection?

• Points on the left move to the right and vice versa

• Points remain in their original positions

• Points on the top move to the bottom and vice versa

• Points move to random positions

What is a characteristic feature of overlapping reflections?

• They rotate the shape

• They change the size of the shape

• They look like butterfly wings

• They look asymmetrical

In a reflection, if point W is on the top, where will it be after the reflection?

• On the bottom

• On the right

• It remains on the top

• On the left

What is the main characteristic of a rotation?

• The shape changes size

• The shape spins around a point

• The shape moves but maintains its orientation

• The shape flips over

In a rotation, if point X starts at the top, where might it be after the rotation?

• Any of the above

• On the bottom

• On the right

• On the left

What should you pay attention to when identifying transformations?

• The size of the shape

• The color of the shape

• The letters and their positions

• The background of the graph
