100

To "flip" a figure over a line

Reflection

100

True or False? Dilations always make a figure smaller. 

False

100

Is a dilation of 7/5 an enlargement or reduction?


Enlargement (Gets bigger)

100

What does it mean for two figures to be similar?

They have the same shape but not necessarily the same size; corresponding angles are equal and side lengths are proportional.

100

Point A (2,3) becomes A' (10,15) after dilation.
What is the scale factor?

5

200

To "slide" a figure.

Translation

200

A dilation might change the size of a figure's side lengths but never the _______.

angles

200

What transformations can be used to prove similarity. 

List them all!

1) Translations

2) Rotations

3) Reflections

4) Dilations

200

Point A has the coordinates (4, -3).  What is the scale factor used if the new coordinates are (2, - 3/2)?

Scale factor = 1/2 or 0.5

200

A triangle has sides 6, 8, 10.
A similar triangle has sides 3, 4, x.
Find x.

5


300

To "turn" a figure clockwise or counter clockwise

Rotation

300

Dilations always produce ___________ figures.

similar

300

If the scale factor is greater than 1 (ex:2) then the dilated image is ______________ from the original figure. 

Enlarged

300

Congruent figures are _____ similar. 

(sometimes, always)

always

Describing a translation requires these two things. 

1) Direction

2) Distance

400

What is a scale factor?

The number that tells how much a figure is enlarged or reduced.

400

If the scale factor is less than 1 (ex:1/4) then the dilated image is ____________ from the original figure. 

Reduced

400

What must be true about corresponding angles in similar figures?

They are equal.

500

List all of the algebraic rules for rotations around the origin. ie. (x, y) --> ( x, y) (360 degree rotation)

(x, y) --> ( x, y) 360 rotation

(x, y) --> ( -x, -y) 180 rotation 

(x, y) --> (y, -x) 90 clockwise/270 counter clockwise

(x, y) --> (-x,y) 90 counter clockwise/270 clockwise

500

If a square is dilated using a scale factor of 2, how many times larger will the area of the new square be?

4 times larger

500

Dilations can result in a congruent figure if their scale factor is this number. 

1
