rotating shapes |
1. estimate points visually 2. use right triangle to rotate shapes |
|
reflecting shapes |
reflection acts like a mirror. it swaps all pairs of points that are on exactly opposite sides of the line of reflection. |
|
determing rotation |
1.examine rotation of a single point. this will tell us the angle of rotation. 2. imagine a circle that passes through point A, withe center at the origin. Ask: what portion of the circle do we rotate through to reach the image? in which direction? |
|
transformations |
we can transform figures using only rigid transformations, such as: rotation, reflection and translation. |
|
reflective symmetery |
means that we can reflect across a line and the figure will remain the same |
|
rotational symmetery |
a figure is said to have rotational symmetery if there is a rotation that maps the figure onto itself |
|
magnitude |
the number of degrees we can rotate the figure to map it onto itself |
|
dilation properties |
1. dilations preserve angle measurement. 2. dilations do NOT preserve coordinates, sides, perimeter, area. |
|
corresponding angles |
are angles that hold the same relative position as another angle im the figure |
|
alternate INTERIOR angle |
angles that are: 1. opposite sides ofthe transverals 2. between the two lines |
|
alternate EXTERIOR angles |
angles are said to be alternate exterior angles when: 1. angles are opposite the transversals 2. and are on the outside of the two lines |
|
congruence |
in order for two figures to be congruent: 1. the mapping has to be with a series of rigid transformations only |
|
rigid transformations |
transformations that preserve the distance between two points |
|
angle congruence |
angles are congruent if and only if they have the same measures |
|
complete the sentence: transversals help us... |
identify parallel lines in 2 ways: 1. lines are parallel if and only if they have alternate INTERIOR angles 2. lines are parallel if and only if they have congruent angles |
