Unit 1: Transformations in the Coordinate Plane Flashcards

(15 cards)

1
Q

A

A change in the position, size, or shape of a figure. Includes translations, reflections, rotations, and dilations.

Q

Isometry (Rigid Motion)

A

A transformation that preserves distance and angle measure (shape and size stay the same).
Examples: Translation, reflection, rotation

Q

Dilation

A

A transformation that changes the size of a figure but not its shape. It uses a scale factor and a center of dilation.
• Enlargement: scale factor > 1
• Reduction: scale factor between 0 and 1

Q

Similar figures

A

Figures that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. Dilations produce similar figures.
