(C) EXPLAIN THE EFFECT OF TRANSLATIONS, REFLECTIONS OVER THE X- OR Y-AXIS, AND
ROTATIONS LIMITED TO 90, 180, 270, AND 360 AS APPLIED TO TWO-DIMENSIONAL SHAPES
TRANSFORMATIONS
A TRANSFORMATION CAN BE DESCRIBED AS A TURN, FLIP, OR A SLIDE OF AN
OBJECT.
EXAMPLE OF A
TRANSFORMATION:
DILATION
A dilation is when you change the
size of an object but not the shape
of it.
TRANSLATION
Translation- simply
sliding an object in any
particular direction
without altering its shape
or size.
EXAMPLE OF A TRANSLATION
In the picture shown the
original coordinates for points
A, B, and C are A-(-3,4), B-(1,2), C-(-3,2). After the
translation was performed the
coordinates for each point
changed. The new
coordinates are A-(1,-2), B-(3,4), C-(1,-4).
REFLECTION
EXAMPLE OF A REFLECTION
In the picture below you
see the REFLECTION of the
sun and trees on the top of
the water
