What type of transformation is this?


Reflection-->Across the x-axis

100

What sequence of transformations could be used to perform this transformation?


Reflect across x-axis

Translate right 2, up 1 using (x, y)-->(x + 2, y + 1)

100

Are these two triangles similar?


No, they do not have the exact same angles.

100

What is the height of the wall?


8.bar3

Point P(2, 3) was translated using the rule 

(x, y)-->(x + 2, y - 4).  Where would you find the point P'?

P' would be at (4, -1)


(2, 3)-->(2 + 2, 3 - 4)-->(4, -1).

200

If the pre-image and image have a different perimeter what type of transformation occurred?

Dilation-->The size is different.

200

What sequence of transformations could be used to perform this transformation?

Reflect across the y-axis

Dilate with r=1/2 about point C(-1, -4)

200

Are these two triangles similar?

No, their sides are not in proportion.

Amanda made two triangles that are similar but not congruent, what type of transformation did she do?

Dilation-->The size changed.

300

What type of transformation would give a result from the following figure?

Translation left or right.

300

What sequence of transformations could be used to perform this transformation?

Rotate 90° CCW about point A(1, -1).

Translate up 2. (x, y)-->(x, y+2)

Isaiah has triangle RST with side lengths of 5 in, 8 in, and 7 in.  He rotated triangle RST 90° about the origin then dilated triangle RST with a scale factor of r=1/3 to make image R'S'T'.  Would the pre-image and image be:

-Similar and congruent

-Similar but not congruent

-Neither similar nor congruent

Similar but not congruent.  A dilation does not make congruent figures.

In the figure below ABDF ~ GCDE.  What is the perimeter of rectangle ABDF?


The perimeter of rectangle ABDF is 25 in.

Mike takes a triangle with side lengths of 9, 25, and 36.  If Mike takes the square root of each side, would the pre-image and image be:

-Similar and congruent

-Similar but not congruent

-Neither similar nor congruent

9, 25, 26--> 3, 5, 6

They would be neither similar nor congruent.

400

What type of transformation is this?

Rotation-->90° CW around the point (-2, 1)

400

Pre-image X was reflected and translated.  Which of the following images could be the result?

Triangle D.

Reflected across the y-axis.

Translated up 5 right 8

(x, y)-->(x+8, y+5)

400

Which two triangles below are similar?

Triangle B and C.

A tree casts a shadow that is 15 feet long.  At the same time, a 4.5 foot person casts a shadow that is 2 feet long.  How tall is the tree?


33.75

Triangle LMN has a perimeter of 14 in and area of 60 in the triangle was dilated with a scale factor of r = 3. What would be the perimeter and area of triangle L'M'N'?

Perimeter = 14 x 3 = 42

Area = 60 x 9 = 540

500

Square ABCD was reflected across the x-axis.  Point B' is located at (-2, -5) where would you find point B before the reflection?

(-2, 5) The reflection would change the y-value of the point.

500

What sequence of transformations could be used to show similarity or congruence in the following figure?

Rotation around point (-2, 1)

Reflection across the line x=-2

500

Anne wants to know if triangle ABC is similar to triangle ACD. If they are similar what scale factor would Anne use to show their similarity?

They are not similar.

AD -> AC, and DC->CB so...

A map has a scale of 3 cm : 18 km. If Riverside and Smithville are 54 km apart then they are how far apart on the map?

9cm

Point P'(4, 6) is the result of a reflection across the y-axis then a dilation with r=2 about the origin.  Where was the pre-image point P?

(-2, 3)
