Question

across

1. this is what the

new and original
figures are when a
dilation occurs

1. this is what the

new figure is of the
original when a
reflection occurs

1. what happens to

a figure when a
translation occurs

1. this type of

transformation is when
a figure is turned
clockwise or
counterclockwise

1. a direction you

can turn when doing
rotations

1. in a dilation where

a figure get bigger

1. when you slide a

figure without turning it

1. changing a shape

using a turn, flip, slide
or resize
down

1. another direction

Explanation:

These are terms related to geometric transformations. Each clue corresponds to a key term in this area:

1. Dilation creates figures that have the same shape but different sizes, so they are similar.
2. Reflection produces a mirror image, so the new figure is a congruent mirror copy/congruent image.
3. Translation slides a figure without changing its size/shape, so it is slid (and remains congruent).
4. A turn transformation is rotation.
5. One rotation direction is clockwise.
6. A dilation that makes a figure bigger is an enlargement.
7. Sliding a figure without turning is translation.
8. The general term for turn, flip, slide, or resize is transformation.
9. The other rotation direction is counterclockwise.

Answer:

Across:

1. Similar
2. Congruent Image (or Mirror Image)
3. Is Slid (Remains Congruent)
4. Rotation
5. Clockwise
6. Enlargement
7. Translation
8. Transformation

Down:

1. Counterclockwise
