Exploring Geometric Transformations: Similarity & Congruence

This video covers Section 9.3, focusing on reviewing geometric transformations. It explains how translations, rotations, and reflections maintain congruence, while dilation results in similarity by changing the size. The video includes a demonstration of these transformations and provides instructions for an activity where students will explore these concepts further.

What is the main focus of Section 9.3?

• Introducing new geometric concepts

• Reviewing previously covered material

• Learning about calculus

• Discussing algebraic equations

Which transformations keep a shape congruent?

• Translation, rotation, and dilation

• Rotation, reflection, and dilation

• Translation, rotation, and reflection

• Reflection, dilation, and translation

What is the result of applying a dilation to a shape?

• The shape remains unchanged

• The shape becomes similar

• The shape becomes distorted

• The shape becomes congruent

What happens to the side lengths and angles of a shape after translations, rotations, and reflections?

• They become distorted

• They remain the same

• They change

• They disappear

What are isometric transformations also called?

• Scaling transformations

• Non-rigid transformations

• Rigid transformations

• Distorting transformations

What must be added to a series of transformations to make a figure similar?

• Translation

• Dilation

• Reflection

• Rotation

What scale factor was used in the dilation example?

• 13

• 5

• 3

• 1

What happens to the side lengths of a shape after a dilation with a scale factor of 3?

• They become distorted

• They are scaled up by 3

• They are scaled down by 3

• They remain the same

What should you remember if a dilation is involved in a series of transformations?

• The image is unchanged
