The document explains the concept of transformations in geometry, including translation, rotation, reflection, and enlargement. It describes how each transformation alters the position or size of a figure while maintaining its shape, and provides examples and coordinates to illustrate these concepts. Additionally, it touches on real-life applications and artistic representations of these transformations.

Transformations

Transformations
To transform something is to change
it. In geometry, there are specific
ways to describe how a figure is
changed. The transformations you
will learn about include:
• Translation
• Rotation
• Reflection
• Enlarging
Renaming Transformations

A Translation “slides” an object a
fixed distance in a given direction.
The original object and its translation
have the, same shape and size and
they face in the same. direction
Translations are SLIDES.
Let's examine

geometry.

The example
shows how each
vertex moves the
same distance in
the same
direction.

• How are they B’ (5,1) C’ (2,-1)

They are similar triangles


• How are they different?
Each vertex slides 6 units to the right
In this
example, the
"slide" moves
7 units to figure

3 units down
(or 3 units down
and
and 7 .units to
the left.)

• How did the

The figure slides 7 units to


the left and 3 units down
rotation
A is a transformation that
turns a figure about a fixed point called
the center of rotation. An object and its
samerotation
shapeare the
and size , but the
figures may be turned in different
directions
The concept of
rotations can be
seen in
wallpaper
designs, fabrics,
and art work.

Rotations are
TURNS!!!
This rotation
is 90 degrees
counterclockwise.

Clockwise Counterclockwise
A reflectioncan be seen in water, in a mirror, in glass, or
in a shiny surface. An object and its reflection have the
same shape and size , but the figures face in opposite
directions . In a mirror, for example, right and left are
switched.
Line reflections are
FLIPS!!!
The line (where a mirror may be placed) is called the
lineofofreflection.
line reflection The distance from a point to the line
of reflection is the same as the distance from the
point's image to the line of reflection.
A reflection can be thought of as a "flipping" of an object over
the line of reflection.

If you folded the two shapes together line

What happens to points in a

• Name the points of the
original triangle.
A (2,-3) B (5,-4) C (2,-4)
• Name the points of the

Basically,
tessellation
a tessellation is a way to tile a
floor (that goes on forever) with shapes
so that there is no overlapping and no
gaps.
Dutch graphic artist M. C. Escher (1898-1972) is
known for his creative use of tessellations in his
work. What transformations can you see in this
picture?

The birds and fish have been translated


here.
What

ns can you
see in this

Some
birds have
been
translated
and some
have been
rotated.
Can you name examples in real life of
each transformation?

• Translation
• Rotation
• Reflection
• Enlarging
