 (x + 3, y – 2). What is A′?


(1, 2)

200

What is the x-axis?

200

A square is rotated 90° counterclockwise, then translated up 3 units. How is its size affected?


Size unchanged.

200

True or False: If two figures can be mapped onto each other using rigid transformations, they are congruent.


True.

300

Define congruent figures


Figures with same shape & size.

300

Write a Sequence of transformations that moves point P(–5, 0) to P′(2, 7).


(x + 7, y + 7)

300

Reflect point (4, –2) across the y-axis. What is the new point?


(–4, –2)

300

The given graph depicts rigid transformations of the pre-image *. This triangle represents a Rotations of * 90-degrees counterclockwise about the origin.

What is figure B?

300

A triangle has vertices at (0,0), (2,0), (1,3). Another triangle has vertices (–2,0), (0,0), (–1,3). Describe the transformation(s) that prove the triangles are congruent.


Reflection across y-axis.

400

True or False: Dilations are rigid transformations.


False, surprise that is your next unit;)

400

Translate triangle with vertices (1,1), (2,3), (3,1)        4 units right. List new coordinates.


(5,1), (6,3), (7,1)

400

A triangle at (1,2), (2,4), (3,2) is reflected over the y-axis and then translated 1 unit down. Write its new coordinates.


(–1,1), (–2,3), (–3,1)

400

Rotate point (0, 5) 180° about the origin. What is the new point?


(0, –5)

400

Two triangles are congruent. One has sides 3, 4, 5. What are the side lengths of the other triangle?


3, 4, 5.

500

Explain the difference between a rigid transformation and a non-rigid transformation.


Rigid = preserves size; non-rigid (dilation) = changes size.
