100

To "flip" a figure.

Reflection

100

True or False? Dilations always make a figure smaller. 

False

100

Is a dilation of 1.5 an enlargement or reduction?


Enlargement (Gets bigger)

100

A triangle has 180 degrees. Triangle A has angles 50 degrees and 70 degrees. Triangle B has angles of 70 degrees and 50 degrees. Are the two triangles similar? 

Yes! They both would have angles of 50 degrees, 70 degrees, and 60 degrees since 50+70=120 and 180-120=60

What does it rain on Neptune, Saturn, and Jupiter?

Diamonds.

200

To "slide" a figure.

200

These two triangles are similar.  Find the Value of a÷b.

200

True or False? Koala fingerprints have confused forensic investigators. 

Yes! Koala fingerprints are very VERY similar to human fingerprints.

300

To "turn" a figure.

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

300

True or False? Bubble wrap was originally invented to be packging material.

False, it was originally invented to be textured wallpaper.

400

Describing a translation requires these two things.

1) Direction

2) Distance

400

Dilations need these two things.

1) Center Point of Dilation
2) Scale Factor

400

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

Reduced

400

Similar figures are ____ congruent. 

(sometimes, always)

sometimes

400

True or False? Honey will go bad. 

False! Edible Honey has been found in ancient Egyptian tombs.

500

Describing a rotation requires these three things. 

1) Center (Point)

2) Rotation angle (Degrees)

3) Direction (Clockwise or Counterclockwise)

500

How will dilating a figure with a scale factor of 1/3 change a figure? How many times bigger or smaller will it get?

It will make the figure 3 times smaller from the center of dilation. 

500

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

1
