Lesson 3

This document provides instructions and examples for performing transformations on geometric figures, including rotations and dilations. It defines rotations as transformations where a point is turned a given number of degrees around a center point. Dilations are defined as transformations that produce a figure of the same shape but different size around a center point. Examples are provided for rotating and dilating various shapes, such as triangles and quadrilaterals, around given points by specific angles or scale factors.

Lesson

Three: Transforma.ons

Rota.ons
Also called a turn
Deni.on: A transforma.on where a point is
turned x about a given point.
Denoted: R O, X , where O is the point of
rota.on and x is the number of degrees
Real-World Example
Ferris Wheel
90

How to Measure Angles


Two kinds of rota.on
Counterclockwise, which is considered posi.ve
Clockwise, which is considered nega.ve

Example 1:
State another name for R O, 90

Example 2:
State another name for R O, -330

How to Rotate a Figure


To rotate you need
A gure to rotate
A center of rota.on
An angle of rota.on
A direc.on to rotate

What to do
Draw line connec.ng center of rota.on and point you
want to rotate
Es.mate and draw angle of x with center as vertex
Measure distance to be the same

Example 1
Rotate
quadrilateral
ABCD
counterclockwise
100 around
point P
P

Example 2
Rotate triangle
ABCD clockwise
45 around
point P

P
A

Helpful Tricks
(For Rota.ng Counterclockwise About the Origin)

Example 1
Rotate triangle
KLM
counterclockwise
270 around the
origin

Example 2
Rotate triangle
ABC
counterclockwise
180 around the
origin

Dila.ons
A dila.on is a transforma.on that produces an image
that is the same shape as the original, but is a
dierent size.
Nota.on: DO,
K , with O as the center of dila.on and k
as the scale factor
If k
> 1, then the dila.on is called an expansion
If k
< 1, then the dila.on is called a contrac.on
Real-World Example:
Pupils of the eye

How to dilate a gure


To dilate you need
A gure to dilate
A center of dila.on
A scaling factor

What to do
Draw a line through the point you want to dilate and the
center of dila.on.
Measure that line with a ruler and mul.ply this distance by
the scale factor
Take the result and measure that distance from the vertex.
Draw a new point

Example 1
Find the
coordinates of
the new
quadrilateral
given the
dila.on D O,1/2

Example Two
Find the
coordinates of
the new triangle
given the dila.on
D O,
