Which one of these transformations would produce an image that is not congruent to its pre‐image? A dilation followed by a reflection A rotation of 90 degrees about the origin A translation of (x − 1, y − 3) A rotation followed by a translation

OpenStudy (julyahx1):

I say D. I just need confirmation to know if im right

` A rotation followed by a translation` are both isometries. They preserve distances and lengths. This means that if you rotate an object, it will keep the same shape, distances and lengths. The same applies for translations. D is not the answer because they want something where it alters the shape or distances or lengths

OpenStudy (julyahx1):

Wait.. Are you SURE d is not the answer?? Cuz im preparing for a really serious exam next week with this question

OpenStudy (julyahx1):

@3mar you think its D or no?

OpenStudy (3mar):

Hello! Let me see, please..

OpenStudy (julyahx1):

ok

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Yes I'm sure @JULYAHX1 rotations, translations and reflections are isometries http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Isometry.html which keeps shapes, areas, lengths, distances etc all the same. If you have a triangle and you rotate it, then it stays the same. It's just now at a different angle now.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint: the transformation will involve enlarging or shrinking an object

OpenStudy (julyahx1):

So A?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes dilations will enlarge or shrink the figure. The two figures will be similar, but not congruent

OpenStudy (julyahx1):

Okay so A i will put for answer. Thank you for the help appreciate it

OpenStudy (julyahx1):

i have another question i just need confirmation on if thats okay

OpenStudy (3mar):

reflection rotation translation All of these transformations do not result in changing or deforming the original shape\polygon\pre-image... Dilation does...

OpenStudy (julyahx1):

im gonna post a question here tat i need confirmation on

OpenStudy (julyahx1):

The steps below describe the construction of a line AG which is parallel to segment PQ and passes through a point A outside of PQ:

OpenStudy (julyahx1):

In the next step the width of the compass is adjusted to DE. Which statement is true? Point G is obtained by using the same compass width and drawing an arc from point E, intersecting the arc drawn from A. Point G is obtained by using the same compass width and drawing an arc from point B, intersecting the arc drawn from A. Point G is obtained by using the same compass width and drawing an arc from point D, intersecting the arc drawn from A. Point G is obtained by using the same compass width and drawing an arc from point F, intersecting the arc drawn from A.

OpenStudy (julyahx1):

I say the answer is D. Do you guys agree?

OpenStudy (3mar):

It would better to start your new question in another new post if you don't mind! @JULYAHX1 Thank you.

OpenStudy (julyahx1):

ok

OpenStudy (3mar):

Using Resizing (dilation) leads to another larger or smaller shape, which is considered "Similar" to the pre-image, but not congruent... I hope it is clearer now...
