Question
- what changes about a figure after a translation? what stays the same?
- reflect the rhombus over the vertical line.
- reflect the rhombus over the horizontal line.
- what changes about a figure after a reflection? what stays the same?
- rotate the rectangle 90 degrees clockwise.
- rotate the rectangle 90 degrees counterclockwise.
Question 3
Translation is a rigid transformation (slide). The position of the figure changes (it moves to a different location). The shape, size (side lengths, angles, area, etc.), and orientation stay the same.
Reflection is a rigid transformation (flip over a line). The orientation (left - right or top - bottom order of parts) changes (it's a mirror image). The shape, size (side lengths, angles, area), and the distance from points to the line of reflection (in a symmetric way) stay the same.
Step 1: Identify key points
Let the rectangle have vertices, say, \( A(x_1,y_1) \), \( B(x_2,y_1) \), \( C(x_2,y_2) \), \( D(x_1,y_2) \) (assuming it's axis - aligned initially, with length along x - axis and width along y - axis).
Step 2: Apply rotation formula
The rotation formula for a point \((x,y)\) rotated 90° clockwise about the origin is \((x,y)\to(y, - x)\) (if we consider the origin as the center of rotation; if the rectangle is not at the origin, we first translate it so that the center of rotation is at the origin, rotate, then translate back). For a rectangle, after rotating 90° clockwise, the length and width swap, and the orientation changes. The new vertices will be such that the side that was horizontal becomes vertical and vice - versa.
Step 3: Draw the rotated rectangle
Plot the new vertices. If the original rectangle has a horizontal length \( l \) and vertical width \( w \), the rotated rectangle will have horizontal width \( w \) and vertical length \( l \), with the vertices in the correct clockwise order.
