NC.M2.G-CO.2b

Compare rigid motions that preserve distance and angle measure (translations, reflections, rotations) to transformations that do not preserve both distance and angle measure (e.g. stretches, dilations).

Example Problems
A sequence of transformations is described below.
1. A reflection over a line

2. A dilation about the point P
What must be preserved under this sequence of transformations:
angle measures and/or segment lengths?
A sequence of transformations is described below.
1. A translation
2. A rotation about a point A
3. A reflection over a line

What must be preserved under this sequence of transformations:
angle measures and/or segment lengths?
A sequence of transformations is described below.
1. A rotation about a
point S
2. A dilation about the same
point S
What must be preserved under this sequence of transformations:
angle measures and/or segment lengths?
