Types of Transformations

Transformations are operations that change the position and sometimes the size of a shape.

Reflection

Reflection

  • A reflection is when a shape is reflected by a line.
    • The perpendicular distance from each point in the reflected shape to the line of reflection is the same as the distance for the corresponding point in the original.
Reflection

Reflection

  • A reflection is when a shape is reflected by a line.
    • The perpendicular distance from each point in the reflected shape to the line of reflection is the same as the distance for the corresponding point in the original.
Rotation

Rotation

  • A rotation is when a shape is rotated around a certain point.
    • The distance from each point in the rotated shape to the centre of rotation is the same as the distance for the corresponding point in the original.

Rotation

  • A rotation is when a shape is rotated around a certain point.
    • The distance from each point in the rotated shape to the centre of rotation is the same as the distance for the corresponding point in the original.
Translation

Translation

  • A translation is when a shape is moved from one position to another.
    • The orientation of the shape is not changed by a translation.
Translation

Translation

  • A translation is when a shape is moved from one position to another.
    • The orientation of the shape is not changed by a translation.
Enlargement

Enlargement

  • An enlargement is when a shape is made bigger or smaller.
    • The lengths of the shape's sides change but the angles and the ratio between the side lengths does not.
