Question
sort the following transformations into two categories: transformations that preserve distance and angle measures and transformations that do not preserve distance, but preserve angle measures.
- a 90° counter - clockwise rotation about the origin
- a translation that moves a figure to the right and up
- a reflection over the line x = 0
- a dilation centered at the origin with a scale factor of $\frac{1}{2}$
- a clockwise rotation about the point (2, - 1).
- a translation that moves a figure to the left and up.
- a translation that moves a figure from quadrant i to quadrant iii
- a dilation centered at (1, 1) with a scale factor of 3.
- a reflection over the x - axis
preserve distance and angle measures | preserve angle measures but not distance
Step1: Recall properties of transformations
Rigid - motions (isometries) preserve distance and angle measures. These include rotations, translations, and reflections. Dilations change the size (distance between points) but preserve angle measures.
Step2: Categorize each transformation
- Rotations: A 90° counter - clockwise rotation about the origin, a clockwise rotation about the point (2, - 1) are rotations. They preserve distance and angle measures.
- Translations: A translation that moves a figure to the right and up, a translation that moves a figure to the left and up, a translation that moves a figure from quadrant I to quadrant III are translations. They preserve distance and angle measures.
- Reflections: A reflection over the line x = 0, a reflection over the x - axis are reflections. They preserve distance and angle measures.
- Dilations: A dilation centered at the origin with a scale factor of $\frac{1}{2}$, a dilation centered at (1, 1) with a scale factor of 3 are dilations. They preserve angle measures but not distance.
