Math 8: Unit 2 Test Transformations

Match the vocabulary words down below with the correct definition.
a. Translation f. Line of Symmetry
b. Reflection g. Center of Rotation.
c. Rotation h. Similar shape
d. Dilation i. Congruent Shape
e. Isometry
1. A fixed point in which a shape is turned around.
2. A transformation that enlarges or reduces a shape.
3. A transformation that slides a shape on the coordinate plane
4. Shapes that have equal angle measures and equal side lengths. Rotations, Reflections, and Translations
produce these kind of shapes.
5. A transformation that holds the shape.
6. A transformation that flips a shape over a line.
7. The line a shape is flipped acrossed during a reflection.
8. Shapes that have congruent angles but not congruent side lengths. A dilation produces this type of shape.
9. A transformation that turns a shape about a fixed point.
