9 Mid-Chapter Quiz

Do you know HOW?

Tell whether the transformation appears to be an isometry. Explain.

  1. A preimage is a pentagon, and an image is the same pentagon down to the left of the preimage.
  2. A preimage is a right triangle with legs to the right and bottom, and an image is a right triangle up to the left of first with legs on the right and bottom, half the length of the first legs.
  3. What rule describes the translation 5 units left and 10 units up?
  4. Describe the translation open x comma y close rightwards arrow . open x minus 3 , comma , y plus 5 close  in words.
  5. Find a translation that has the same effect as the following composition of translations.

    open x comma y close rightwards arrow . open x plus 7 , comma , y minus 2 close  followed by open x comma y close rightwards arrow . open x minus 3 , comma , y plus 2 close

Find the reflection image of open 5 comma negative 3 close  across each line.

  1. the x-axis
  2. y-axis
  3. cap delta w x y  has vertices w open negative 4 comma 1 close comma x open 2 comma negative 7 close comma , and y open 0 comma negative 3 close .  What are the vertices of the image of cap delta w x y  for the translation open x comma y close rightwards arrow . open x minus 3 , comma . y plus 5 close question mark
  4. cap delta eh b c  has vertices eh open negative 1 comma 4 close comma b open 2 comma 0 close comma , and c open 4 comma 3 close .  Graph the reflection image of cap delta eh b c  across the line x equals . negative 1 .

Copy each figure and point A. Draw the image of each figure for the given angle of rotation about A. Use prime notation to label the vertices of the image.

  1. 40 degrees

    KITE ABCD, with diagonal AC longer than BD, has side BC on the right, side CD on top, and vertex A, containing a point, down to the right.

  2. 90 degrees

    Trapezoid PQRS with short base PQ on top and long base SR on bottom, has point A on left side PS, closer to P.

  3. How many lines of symmetry does a regular pentagon have? Include a sketch in your answer.

Tell what type(s) of symmetry each figure has. For line symmetry, sketch the image and the line(s) of symmetry. For rotational symmetry, state the angle of rotation.

  1. A semicircle has flat side on bottom.
  2. A figure is shaped line a square with small, equal triangles removed from the middle of each side.

Do you UNDERSTAND?

  1. Reasoning The point open 5 comma negative 9 close  is the image under the translation open x comma y close rightwards arrow . open x minus 3 , comma . y plus 2 close .  What is its preimage?
  2. Reasoning The point t open 5 comma negative 1 close  is reflected first across the x-axis and then across the y-axis. What is the distance between the image and the preimage? Explain.
  3. Coordinate Geometry The point L(a, b) in Quadrant I is rotated 90 degrees  about the origin and then reflected across the y-axis. What are the coordinates of the image of L?

The two letters in each pair are congruent. Does one figure appear to be a translation image, a reflection image, or a rotation image of the other?

  1. A capital letter P has loop extending down to the right from the top of the straight side. Another letter P, up to the of the first, has loop extending up to the right from the top of the straight side.
  2. A letter S has top curve larger than the bottom curve. A backward letter S, up to the right of the first, has top curve larger than the bottom.
  3. Error Analysis Your friend draws the diagram below to show the reflection of white parallelogram PQRS across the x-axis. Explain and correct your friend's error.

    A graph has parallelogram PQRS with vertices P(2, 3), Q(6, 3), R(5, 1), and S(1, 1) and parallelogram P’Q’R’S’ with vertices P’(1, negative 1), Q’(6, negative 1), R’(5, negative 3), and S’(1, negative 3).
