Transformation Basics Figures in a plane can be reflected, rotated, or translated to produce new figures. Pre-image: The original figure Image: The new version of the figure after being transformed Transformation: The operation that maps, or moves, the pre-image onto the image
Congruence Vs. Similarity ≅ X D ∼ A M F E C B Z S P Y
A non rigid transformation where the image and preimage are similar Dilation A non rigid transformation where the image and preimage are similar F k p F C The image is a dilation of the preimage with scale factor k:p from the center C
Reduction vs. Enlargement 0 < k < 1 Enlargement: k > 1
Requirements For Dilation Dilation with center C and scale factor K maps point P to P’, and… If P is not on C, then P’ is on CP. Also Scale factor k = (k>0 and k≠1 ) 2. If P is on C, then P=P’ CP’ CP P’ C P P = P’ C
The ratio of the lengths for two corresponding sides Scale Factor The ratio of the lengths for two corresponding sides ABCD ∼ EFGH E 10in F A 5in B 16in 8in D C H G
“ABCD is Similar to EFGH” Similar Polygons Polygons with all corresponding angles ≌ and all sets of sides proportional B If ∠A ≌ ∠E & ∠B ≌ ∠F ∠C ≌ ∠G & ∠D ≌ ∠H Then “ABCD is Similar to EFGH” F A E H G D C ABCD ∼ EFGH
Similar Polygons Polygons with all corresponding angles ≌ and all sets of sides proportional A If ∠A ≌ ∠E & ∠B ≌ ∠F ∠C ≌ ∠G Scale Factor = Then “ABC is Similar to EFG” E G F C B ABC ∼ EFG
Dilation on Coordinate Plane When Dilating on the plane w/ Center @ (0,0) Multiply both the x and y value by the scale factor (x,y) -> (kx,ky)
Equations that equate two ratios are called proportions. b c d =
