Transformations and Shapes
Shape classification Sides, Angles, Symmetry
Pg 154 – Rotational symmetry
Rotational symmetry = # of times shape can rotate Pg 155 - Triangles / Quadrilaterals
to same position within 360o
Triangles:
Similar = same angles, different size
Ratio of sides = Scale factor
Congruent = same shape and size,
AAS – 2 angles and corresponding side - equal
SAS – 2 sides and included angle - equal
SSS – all sides - equal
RHS – Right angle, Hypotenuse and side - equal
Translation Eg 2 pg 271
Moving a shape without rotating or changing
the size Ex 13A Q1, 10, 11a
Represented by vector (T), move back is
inverse (T-1)
ABC Shape + T = A’B’C’ image
Move each vertice and connect
Rotation Eg 3 pg 273
Anti-clockwise turn about a centre Ex 13B Q1
Represented by angle and centre
+ve angle = anti-clockwise / -ve = clockwise Eg 3 pg 398
Find the image Ex 19C Q1, 2
Manually join points to centre and use protractor
Around the origin:
90o (x,y) -> (-y,x)
180o (x,y) -> (-x,-y)
270o (x,y) -> (y,-x)
Around a point eg (2,-2)
1. Remove point so back to origin
2. Apply the rules above
3. Add back
Short cut is to manually turn graph 90o and
read coordinates
Find the centre Eg – topic on pg 398
1. Join each point to its image (X to X’) Ex: Eg 4 pg 399
2. Draw perpendicular bisector of XX’
3. Centre = point where the bisector lines meet
4. Angle = XOX’ use protractor to measure
Reflection Eg – topic on pg 396
In a mirror line where distance of point to
mirror line = image to mirror line Eg 1 pg 397
Find the mirror line: Ex 19B Q1, 4
Plot object & image vertices
Join a pair of points
Construct the perpendicular bi-sector of the
line
Enlargement Eg 4 pg 277 (ray lines: OA’ = 2x OA)
Change in size either increase or decrease
Angles and shape remain same Ex 13E Q5 .. repeat same Q for SF = ½
Described by a Centre & Scale factor
Image = shape x Scale Factor
o Side length = L x SF for every side
+ve : movement from Centre to Point
o multiply by SF & plot point starting
from Centre
Area of enlargement = (SF)2 x Area of object
Eg – topic on pg 278
Negative enlargements: Ex 13F Q4
Sides are increased by SF but image is flipped
and on opposite side of the centre
-ve : : movement from Point to Centre
o multiply by SF & plot point starting
from Centre
Glide reflections = reflection + translation Eg 5 pg 400
Transformation matrices
Convert image coordinates to position vectors Topic 21.3 pg 436
Create image matrix Ex - Eg 4 pg 437
(Transformation matrix) x (Image matrix)
Reflection in y-axis Ex - Topic pg 438
How to determine reflection in y-axis:
Plot 1 >> image is -1
0 0
Plot 0 >> image is 0
1 1 Ex - Determine matrix transformation for:
Result is: -1 0 Reflection in x-axis
01 Draw reflected image
How to determine Rotation of 90o Ex - Determine matrix transformation for:
Plot 1 >> image is 0 Rotation of 270o
0 1
Plot 0 >> image is -1
1 0
Result is: 0 -1
1 0
List of all trans matrix – pg 451
General rotation of Ѳ about origin:
Plot 1 >> image is Cos Ѳ
0 Sin Ѳ
Plot 0 >> image is -Sin Ѳ
1 Cos Ѳ
Result is: Cos Ѳ, -Sin Ѳ
Sin Ѳ , Cos Ѳ
Combining transformations into single matrix Topic 21.4 pg 443
Ex 21 L Q4
Ex – Eg 6 pg 445
