Transformations in Geometry

This video tutorial explains the properties of geometric transformations using triangles. It covers rotation, translation, and dilation, focusing on how these transformations affect the shape and size of a triangle. The tutorial provides a step-by-step calculation of the new length of a triangle's side after a dilation with a scale factor of 1/3, emphasizing that only dilation changes the size while rotation and translation do not.
