Lesson #3

Topic: Geometry – Transformation


Sub-topic/s: Translation
Rationale: As a student learning mathematics, you will be able to apply the concept of
translation when describing the movement of an aircraft as it moves across the sky, sewing with
a sewing machine, punching decorative studs into belts, making pasta such as spaghetti and when
throwing a shot-put in sports. Acquiring these mathematical skills and knowledge in
mathematics, will allow you to make quick and sound calculations in simple everyday
applications.
Objectives: Through the use of handouts and practices, you will be able to:
(A) Define a translation.
(B) Determine the vertices of an image under a translation.
(C) Appreciate the importance of translation in real life.

Activities:
 Read the hand-out on translation.
 Highlight or underline with a pen, important information in the hand-out.
 Complete the practice exercise on the hand-out itself.
 Complete all graded worksheets on translation.
Resources:
Pen, pencil, eraser, marker/highlighter, graph paper and a scientific calculator.

Glossary of important terms
Translation: a translation transforms an object by moving it without rotation or reflection. Every
point on the object moves the same distance and in the same direction.

Transformation: a transformation changes the position and/or the size of a shape. The original
shape is called the object and the transformation is called the image.
Information Sheet: Handout/s
A translation is a geometrical transformation of the plane such that an object changes its position
in a specific direction along a straight line. The object and image are congruent.

Each translation can be represented by a column matrix T = ( xy), where x is the horizontal shift
and y is the vertical rise or fall.
To Translate a shape:
Every point of the shape must move:
 the same distance
 in the same direction.

Example/s with answers.


Example 1:
The vertices of triangle ABC are (−3 , 2), (−6 , 4) and (−7 , 2) respectively. Determine the

Solution:
Since T + P=P '
Then

(−37 ) are A ' (4 ,−1), B' (1 ,1) and


So, the vertices of triangle A ' B' C ' under the translation T =
C ' (0 ,−1).

Example 2:
Triangle ABC is mapped onto triangle A ' B' C ' with vertices A ' (4 ,−1), B' (1 ,−2) and C ' (2 ,1)
under the translation T = ( )

Then

So, the vertices of triangle ABC are A(−1, 3), B(−4 , 2) and C (−3 , 5) .
Example 3:

The shape has moved two units to the
right and three units up.
