Question

Using rigid transformations on the trapezoid, build a pattern. Describe some of therigid transformations you used.

Answer 1

To transform a shape usIng rigid transformation(s), a new figure is created that is congruent to the original image.

We have 3 types of rigid transformation:

Rotation: In rotation, the trapezoid will turn

Reflection: In reflection, the trapezoid will flip

Translation: In translation, the trapezoid will slide.

To transform, the trapezoid given, using rigid transformations, let's use rotation and reflection.

Thus, we have:

The transformations used here are:

The first image was rotated while the second image is a reflection of the rotated image.

The trapezoid was rotated then reflected.
