Transformations

Chapter 8 Transformations

TermDefinition
angle of rotation the angle through which a point is rotated under a rotation
center of dilation the point about which a figure is dilated under a dilation
center of rotation the point about which a point is rotated under a rotation
clockwise in the direction that a clock hand moves
counterclockwise in the opposite direction that a clock hand moves
dilation a transformation that assigns to each point A on the plane a point A' such that from a given point O, OA = kOA' and A, O, and A' lie along the same line
half turn a 180 degree rotation
image the resulting figure after a transformation
invariant point a point that remains unchanged, or a point that is mapped onto itself, under a transformation
isometry a transformation that preserves lengths and angle measures
line of reflection the given line of a reflection that is the perpendicular bisector of all segments formed by a point and its image
map to assign to each point on a plane its image under a transformation
reflection a transformation that maps each point A on a plane to a point A' such that a given line is the perpendicular bisector of line segment AA'.
rotation a transformation that maps each point A on a plane to a point A' such that, given a center O, m of angle AOA' is a given angle measure and AO = A'O
scale factor the ratio of a length A'B' of a figure's image to the length AB of the original figure under a dilation
transformation a function that maps each point to its corresponding point on the plane
translation a transformation that maps each point A on a plane to a point A' such that line segment AA' is the same length and has the same direction for all points on the plane

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
