Tell whether the red figure is a translation, reflection, rotation, or dilation of the blue figure.

Question 1.

Answer:
The transformation can be performed by tracing the paper. The given figure has no change in size or shape. The red figure is the mirror image of the blue figure so it is a reflection.

Question 2.

Answer: The transformation can be performed by tracing the paper. Rotates or turns the pre-image around an axis. The blue figure turns to form the red figure so it is a rotation.

Question 3.

Answer: The transformation can be performed by tracing the paper. A dilation produces an image similar to the original figure.
The blue polygon is a dilation of the red figure.

Question 4.

Answer: The transformation can be performed by tracing the paper.
The blue figure is similar to the red figure and one is a dilation of the other.

Tell whether the two figures are similar. Explain your reasoning.

Question 5.

Answer:
Given,
Length A = 12
Width A = 5
Length B = 14
Width B = 7
Length of A/Length of B = 12/14 = 6/7
Width of A/Width of B = 5/7
Thus Rectangle A and Rectangle B are not similar.

Question 6.

Answer:
Given,
Base A = 6
Base B = 9
Height A = 8
Height B = 12
Base of triangle A/Base of triangle B = 6/9 = 2/3
Height of triangle A/Height of triangle B = 8/12 = 2/3
Hypotenuse of triangle A/Hypotenuse of triangle B = 10/12 = 5/6
Triangle A and Triangle B are similar.

Question 7.

Answer:
Length A = 6
Width A = 10
Length B = 3
Width B = 5
Length of A/Length of B = 6/3 = 2
Width of A/Width of B = 10/5 = 2

Answer:

Question 36.
PROVING A THEOREM
Use properties of translations to prove each theorem.
a. Corresponding Angles Theorem (Theorem 3. 1)
Answer:

\(\overline{A B}\)|| \(\overline{C D}\)
Using \(\overline{E F}\) a translation vector.
Translating ∠BEF along \(\overline{E F}\) until F becomes the image of E.
\(\overline{E B}\) || \(\overline{E’ B’}\)
So, \(\overline{E’ B’}\) coincides \(\overline{F D}\) as they are parallel and have a common endpoint.
Since translation is a rigid motions.
Then ∠1 ≅ ∠2
Thus, If two lines are cut by a transversal and the alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.

b. Corresponding Angles Converse (Theorem 3.5)
Answer:
Given,
∠AEF ≅ ∠EFD
Assume \(\overline{A B}\) and \(\overline{C D}\) are not parallel.

Answer:
The vector PQ = (4, 1) describes the translation of A(- 1, w) Onto A'(2x + 1, 4) and B(8y – 1, 1) Onto B'(3, 3z).
(-1, w) → (-1 + 4, w + 1) = (3, w + 1)
A'(2x + 1, 4)
(3, w + 1) = (2x + 1, 4)
3 = 2x + 1
2x = 2
x = 1
w + 1 = 4
w = 4 – 1
w = 3
We know that vector PQ = (4, 1) describes the translation of B(8y – 1, 1)
(8y – 1, 1) → (8y – 1 + 4, 1 + 1) = (8y + 3, 2)
B'(3, 3z)
(8y + 3, 2) = (3, 3z)

Question 30.
MAKING AN ARGUMENT
Your friend claims that rotating a figure by 180° is the same as reflecting a figure in the y-axis arid and then reflecting it in the x-axis. Is your friend correct? Explain your reasoning.
Answer:
rotating a figure by 180° (a, b) → (-a, -b)
reflecting a figure in the y-axis (a, b) → (-a, b)
reflecting a figure in the x-axis (a, b) → (a, -b)
For reflecting a figure in the y-axis and then reflecting in the x-axis
the first step will result (a, b) → (a, -b)
Reflecting (-a, b) in the x-axis (-a, b) → (-a, -b)
Thus your friend is correct.

Question 31.
DRAWING CONCLUSIONS
A figure only has point symmetry. How many times can you rotate the figure before it is back where it started?
Answer:
If a figure only has point symmetry, then it has 180° rotational symmetry. One rotation will rotate the figure 180°. A second rotation will rotate the figure another 180°. The two rotations combined result in a 360° rotation and therefore the rotations map the figure onto itself. So, you can rotate the figure 2 times before it is back where it started.

THOUGHT PROVOKING
Can rotations of 90°, 180°, 270°, and 360° be written as the composition of two reflections? Justify your answer.
Answer:
1. 180°

The 1st image is original. The vertical lines in the above image are mirrors.
So, if I use two reflections I get image 3 eventually from two possible paths.
Image 3 is the 180° rotation of original object 1.
2. 360° rotation

The 1st image is original. The horizontal lines in the above image are mirrors.
So, if I use two reflections – First take the reflection of 1st image to get it flipped.
Then again take a reflection of this flipped image again to get the original image.

Question 17.
ERROR ANALYSIS
Describe and correct the error in describing the congruence transformation.

Answer:

Question 18.
ERROR ANALYSIS
Describe and correct the error in using the Reflections in Intersecting Lines Theorem

Answer:
When a figure is reflected in two intersecting lines, then the image is a rotation of the preimage about the point of intersection of the 2 reflecting lines through an angle between the intersecting lines.
This means that the blue figure should be rotated about the point of intersection by
72° × 2 = 144° anticlockwise to obtain the image of the given preimage.
The solution shown here is incorrect because the reflection is done in the first line first, followed by the reflection in the second line, which is incorrect.

In Exercises 19 – 22, find the measure of the acute or right angle formed by intersecting lines so that C can be mapped to C’ using two reflections.

Question 19.
A rotation of 84° maps C to C’.
Answer:

Question 20.
A rotation of 24° maps C to C’.
Answer:
In the intersection of line m and line n, there is a point that we will mark with M.
When we join point C and point M, then we get \(\overline{C M}\)
When we join point C’ and point M, then we get \(\overline{C’ M}\)
Now observe at the angle ∠CMC’
∠CMC’ = 24
84/2 = 12

Question 21.
The rotation (x, y) → (- x, – y) maps C to C’.
Answer:

Question 22.
The rotation (x, y) → (y, – x) maps C to C’.
Answer:
The rotation (x, y) → (y, – x) is a 270° counterclockwise rotation, which is equivalent to a 90° clockwise rotation.
The reflection on intersecting lines theorem considers the acute or right angle of the intersecting lines.
So, we will consider that the rotation is 90° clockwise
The angle of intersection is 45°

Question 34.
CRITICAL THINKING
Does the order of reflections for a composition of two reflections in parallel lines matter? For example, is reflecting ∆XYZ in line l and then its image in line in the same as reflecting ∆XYZ in line in and then its image in line l ?

Answer:
Yes, the order of reflections for a composition of two reflections in parallel lines matters.
When reflecting ΔXYZ the places of the middle images ΔX’Y’Z’ and the final images ΔX”Y”Z” will differ between the two cases.
In this case the reflecting ΔXYZ in l then m, results in middle image ΔX’Y’Z’ between l and m. and the final image ΔX”Y”Z” after the line m.

In this case the reflecting ΔXYZ in l then m, results in middle image ΔX’Y’Z’ to the extreme right of the two lines l and m and the final image ΔX”Y”Z” to the extreme left to the two lines l and m.

4.6 Similarity and Transformations

Exploration 1

Dilations and similarity

Work with a partner.

a. Use dynamic geometry software to draw any triangle and label it ∆ABC.
Answer:
We have a triangle ABC with vertices A(2, 1), B(1, 3) and C(3, 2).
The image of the graph of ΔABC along with its dilated figure by scale factor 2 that is ΔA’B’C’ are A'(4,2), B'(2, 6) and C'(6, 4)
Thus each coordinate of ΔA’B’C’ are twice the coordinates of corresponding vertices ΔABC.
Also, the side lengths of dilated image ΔA’B’C’ are twice the side lengths of the original image ΔABC.
But the measure of ∠A, ∠B, and ∠C are the same as the measure of ∠A’, ∠B’, and ∠C’ respectively.

b. Dilate the triangle using a scale factor of 3. Is the image similar to the original triangle? Justify your answer.

Question 3.
When a figure is translated, reflected, rotated, or dilated in the plane, is the image always similar to the original figure? Explain your reasoning.
Answer:
If a figure is dilated the size of an object or shape gets changed it may decrease or increase its dimensions by some scaling factors.
When a figure is translated, reflected, rotated, or dilated in the plane, the image is always similar to the original figure.
Two figures are similar if and only if one figure can be obtained from the other by a single transformation, or a sequence of transformations, including translations, reflections, rotations, and/or dilations or equivalently corresponding angles are equal and sides are proportional.
If its rotated, the image is obtained by rotating the image by ∝ clockwise. Then, the original image can be obtained by rotating the image by ∝ in an anticlockwise direction.
If its translated, there is an expression for transforming which can be arranged to get the transformation to get the original image.

Question 4.
A figure undergoes a composition of transformations. which includes translations.
reflections, rotations, and dilations. Is the image similar to the original figure?
Explain your reasoning.
Answer:
Translation:

AB = A’B’
OA = O’A’
OB = O’B’
Rotation:

A”B” = AB’
A”O” = A’O’
B”O” = B’O’
Reflection:

A”B” = A”‘B”
A”O” =’ = A”‘O’
B”O’ = B’O’

Since dilation is done by an amount of 3 units
A”‘B” = bA””B”‘
A”‘O’ = 3A””O’
B”O’ = 3B”‘O’
AB = 3A””B”‘
AO = 3A””O’
BO = 3B”‘O’
AB/A””B”‘ = AO/A””O’ = BO/B”‘O’
ΔABO is similar to ΔA””B”‘O’

Prove ∆JKL is similar to ∆MNP.

Answer:
\(\overline{L J}\) || \(\overline{P M}\)
So, the line segment KL maps the line segment NP of ∆MNP.
∠KLJ maps the ∠NPM as it is given that both the triangles are right isosceles triangles.
So, each angle measure 90 degrees.

dilation factor k = PM/PJ
The length of the line segment PM is v and the length of the line segment LJ is t.
k – PM/PJ
k = v/t
So, ∆JKL is similar to ∆MNP.

Answer:
The length of a segment with two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
= √(y2 – y1)² + (x2 – x1)²
The length of \(\overline{R S}\) = √(3 – 2)² + (1 – (-2))²
= √1² + 3²
= √10
The length of \(\overline{X Y}\) = √(-2 – 4)² + (6 – 4)²
= √(-6)² + 2²
= √36 + 4 = √40
= 2 × √10
\(\overline{X Y}\) = 2 × \(\overline{R S}\)
The length of \(\overline{S T}\) = √(1 – 3)² + (2 – 1)²
= √4 + 1
= √5
The length of \(\overline{Y Z}\) = √(-4 – (-2))² + (2 – 6)²
= √(-2)² + (-4)²
= √4 + 16 = √20
= 2 × √5
\(\overline{Y Z}\) = 2 × \(\overline{S T}\)

New dimension = scale factor × old dimension
4 . 1/2 = 2 and 6 . 1/2 = 3
Dimensions of new photograph: 2 inches by 3 inches

c. You have a frame that holds photos that are 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Can you dilate the original photograph to fit the frame? Explain your reasoning.
Answer:
8.5/4 = 2.125 and 11/6 = 1.833
Since the scale factors for both dimensions are different, it will not be possible to dilate the photo to fit the frame.

Transformations Cumulative Assessment

Question 1.
Which composition 0f transformations maps ∆ABC to ∆DEF?

(A) Rotation: 90° counterclockwise about the origin
Translation: (x, y) → (x + 4, y – 3)

(B) Translation: (x, y) → (x – 4, y – 3)
Rotation: 90° counterclockwise about the origin

(C) Translation: (x, y) → (x + 4, y – 3)
Rotation: 90° counterclockwise about the origin

(b) Rotation: 90° counterclockwise about the origin
Translation: (x, y) → (x – 4, y – 3)
Answer:
The ΔABC with vertices A(-1, 2), B(3, 4) and C(2, 2).
(x, y) → (x – 4, y – 3)
(-1, 2) → (-1 – 4, 2 – 3) = (-5, -1)
x = 3 and y = 4 from point B(3, 4) in the translation to find B’
(x, y) → (x – 4, y – 3)
(3, 4) → (3 – 4, 4 – 3) = (-1, 1)
x = 2 and y = 2 from point C(2, 2) in the translation to find C’
(x, y) → (x – 4, y – 3)
(2, 2) → (2 – 4, 2 – 3) = (-2, -1)
Rotate A’ through an angle 90° about the origin, we will get the point D(1, -5)
Rotate B’ through an angle 90° about the origin, we will get the point E(-1, -1)
Rotate C’ through an angle 90° about the origin, we will get the point F(1, -2)
Thus the correct answer is option B.

Question 2.
Use the diagrams to describe the steps you would take to construct a line perpendicular to line m through point P. which is not on line m.

Answer:
Step 1: The fixed end of the compass is placed on P and an arc is drawn through the given line such that this intersects the given line at 2 points, A and B such that A and B are equidistant from P.
Measure this distance A and B, open the compass to a length greater than half of AB.
Place the fixed end at A and mark an ac below the given line.
Step 2: Without changing the length of the compass, move the fixed end to B and mark another arc below the given line. This point is labeled Q.
Step 3: Join P and Q by a straight line. Here PQ is perpendicular to the given line.

Question 3.
Your friend claims that she can find the perimeter of the school crossing sign without using the Distance Formula. Do you support your friend’s claim? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:
It can be seen that each unit here is equal to 1 unit.
Therefore the straight-lined perimeter can be evaluated by counting the number of boxes.
E = C = 2 units
D = 4 units
A = B and these form the hypotenuse of right isosceles triangles with side lengths of 2 units.
Therefore A = B = 2√2 units.
The perimeter of the sign is 2(2√2) + 4 + 2(2)
= 8 + 4√2 = 13.657 units

Question 4.
Graph the directed line segment ST with endpoints S(- 3, – 2) and T(4, 5). Then find the coordinates of point P along the directed line segment ST so that the ratio of SP to PT is 3 to 4.
Answer:
Graph the directed line segment ST with endpoints S(- 3, – 2) and T(4, 5).
4 – (-3) = 4 + 3 = 7
The point P along the directed line segment ST so that the ratio of SP to PT is 3 to 4.
P = -3 + 3 = 0
P = (0, 1)

Question 5.
The graph shows quadrilateral WXYZ and quadrilateral ABCD.

a. Write a composition of transformations that maps quadrilateral WXYZ to
quadrilateral ABCD.
Answer:
It can be seen that ABCD and WXYZ are symmetrical about the line y = -x
It can be concluded that WXYZ can be mapped on to ABCD by reflection in the line y = -x

b. Are the quadrilaterals congruent? Explain your reasoning.
Answer:
Reflection is a transformation that does not change the size of an image with respect to its preimage.
So it can be said that the quadrilateral ABCD and WXYZ are congruent.

Question 6.
Which equation represents the line passing through the point (- 6, 3) that is parallel to
the line y = – \(\frac{1}{3}\)x – 5?
(A) y = 3x + 21
(B) y = –\(\frac{1}{3}\)x – 5
(C) y = 3x – 15
() y = –\(\frac{1}{3}\)x + 1
Answer:
y = mx + c
y = –\(\frac{1}{3}\)x – 5
Slope = –\(\frac{1}{3}\)
point (-6, 3)
y = –\(\frac{1}{3}\)x + n
3 = –\(\frac{1}{3}\) (-6) + n
n = 1
y = –\(\frac{1}{3}\)x + 1
Thus the correct answer is option D.

Question 7.
Which scale factor(s) would create a dilation of \(\overline{A B}\) that is shorter than \(\overline{A B}\)? Select all that apply.

Answer:
In order to create a dilation of AB that is shorter than AB, the dilation factor must be greater than 0 but less than 1
Therefore the possible values of the dilation factor here are 1/3, 1/2 and 3/4

Question 8.
List one possible set of coordinates of the vertices of quadrilateral ABCD for each description.
a. A reflection in the y-axis maps quadrilateral ABCD onto itself.
Answer:
If the preimage and image of the figure are the same after the reflection in the y-axis, then this implies that the line of symmetry of the quadrilateral is the y-axis.
Thus the coordinates can be A(-1, 2), B(1, 2), C(1, -2) and D(-1, -2)

b. A reflection in the x-axis maps quadrilateral ABCD onto itself
Answer:
If the preimage and image of a figure are the same after reflection in the x-axis then this implies that the line of symmetry of the quadrilateral is the x-axis.
The coordinates can be A(-1, 2), B(1, 2), C(1, -2) and D(-1, -2)

c. A rotation of 90° about the origin maps quadrilateral ABCD onto itself.
Answer:
If the preimage and image of a figure are the same after reflection 90° about the origin then this implies that the quadrilateral has rotational symmetry.
The coordinates can be A(-1, 1), B(1, 1), C(1, -1) and D(-1, -1)

d. A rotation of 180° about the origin maps quadrilateral ABCD onto itself.
Answer:
If the preimage and image of a figure are the same after reflection 180° about the origin then this implies that the quadrilateral has rotational symmetry.
The coordinates can be A(-1, 2), B(1, 2), C(1, -2) and D(-1, -2)
