In the composition of a translation followed by a dilation, the following properties are preserved and not preserved:
-
Angle Measure: This property is preserved. Both translation and dilation do not change the measures of angles.
-
Distance: This property is not preserved. While translation does preserve distances, dilation changes distances by a scaling factor.
-
Shape: The shape of the rectangle is preserved through both transformations, as dilations maintain similarity (the same shape, but possibly different size).
-
Orientation: The orientation of the rectangle can change depending on the center of dilation. If the dilation is centered at a point outside the rectangle, it may flip the orientation.
Based on this, the properties not preserved after the composition transformation are:
- Distance (due to dilation)
- Orientation (can change depending on dilation's center)
Thus, the answer to the question is distance and orientation.
