Question

1. A triangle undergoes a sequence of transformations. First, the triangle is

dilated by a scale factor of 1/3 about the origin. Then the triangle is
reflected over the x-axis. Finally, the triangle is translated left 3 units and up
2 units. How does the image triangle compare to the pre-image triangle?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Sample Response: Because there was a dilation, the two triangles will be similar. The scale factor was less than one, so the image will be smaller than the pre-image.

Check all that you included in your response.

The triangles were similar.

The image was smaller than the pre-image.

Answer 2

Answer: It is a different size, but the same shape, and it is flipped upside down as well as in a different Quadrant.
