Answer

How does the order matter when making rules for translations, rotations, reflections and dilations?



Select a point (neither the x-value or y-value may be 0).



Write down two different types of rules (translations, rotations, reflections and dilations) and perform them in one order. What is your final point?



Use the same original point and the same two rules but switch the order. What is your final point?

To find the dilation of 1/2 for the shape centered at the origin, we need to multiply each coordinate of the original shape by 1/2.

New coordinates:
A' = (1/2 * 2, 1/2 * 2) = (1, 1)
B' = (1/2 * 8, 1/2 * 0) = (4, 0)
C' = (1/2 * 4, 1/2 * -6) = (2, -3)

Therefore, the new shape after a dilation of 1/2 centered at the origin is:
A'=(1, 1)
B'=(4, 0)
C'=(2, -3)

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let me correct my calculations for the dilation of 1/2 for the shape centered at the origin.

New coordinates:
A' = (1/2 * 2, 1/2 * 2) = (1, 1)
B' = (1/2 * 8, 1/2 * 0) = (4, 0)
C' = (1/2 * 4, 1/2 * -6) = (2, -3)

Therefore, the correct new shape after a dilation of 1/2 centered at the origin is:
A' = (1, 1)
B' = (4, 0)
C' = (2, -3)

I apologize for the mistake in my initial response, and I appreciate your patience. Thank you for pointing out the error.

To find the value of x in the similar triangles, we can set up a proportion using the corresponding sides of the triangles.

In the given triangles, we have:

(Length in larger triangle) / x = 32.7 / 16.7

Now, we can solve for x:

x = (32.7 * 16.7) / 26.2
x = 540.39 / 26.2
x ≈ 20.6 inches

Therefore, the value of x is approximately 20.6 inches when rounded to the nearest tenth.

To find the scale factor between the two triangles, we can divide the length of the corresponding side in the final triangle by the length of the corresponding side in the original triangle.

Scale Factor = New Length / Original Length

Given:
Original hypotenuse length = 16 cm
Final hypotenuse length = 2.4 cm

Scale Factor = 2.4 / 16
Scale Factor = 0.15

Therefore, the scale factor between the two triangles is 0.15.

When making rules for translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations, the order matters because the transformations are not commutative. The order in which transformations are applied can affect the final outcome, as each transformation changes the original position of the points.

Let's select point A(2, 3) as our original point.

Two different types of rules:
1. Translation: Move the point 4 units right and 5 units up.
2. Rotation: Rotate the point 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin.

Rule 1: Translation
A'(6, 8) - A translated 4 units right and 5 units up.

Rule 2: Rotation
A''(-8, 6) - A' rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin.

Final point after applying translation and rotation in the order mentioned: A''(-8, 6).

Switching the order:

Rule 1: Rotation
A'(3, -2) - A rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin.

Rule 2: Translation
A''(7, 1) - A' translated 4 units right and 5 units up.

Final point after applying rotation and translation in the switched order: A''(7, 1).

Hence, changing the order of transformations produced different final points for the given original point A(2, 3).

To translate point (2, 3) 4 units left and 6 units down, we need to subtract 4 from the x-coordinate to move it left, and subtract 6 from the y-coordinate to move it down.

Original Point: (2, 3)

Translation:
New x-coordinate = 2 - 4 = -2
New y-coordinate = 3 - 6 = -3

Final Point after translation: (-2, -3)

Therefore, point (2, 3) translated 4 units left and 6 units down results in the final point (-2, -3).
