Lesson 6: Practice Problems

Problem 1

Is there a rigid transformation taking Rhombus to Rhombus ? Explain how you know.

Rhombus P and Rhombus Q

Problem 2

Describe a rigid transformation that takes Triangle to Triangle .

Triangle A with vertexes (0, 0), (3, 0), and (3, 2). Triangle B with vertexes (3, 2), (6, 2), and (6, 4). There is a line from (0,0) that is the hypotenuse of both triangles.

Problem 3

Is there a rigid transformation taking Rectangle to Rectangle ? Explain how you know.

Rectangle A and Rectangle B. A is narrower than B.

Problem 4

For each shape, draw its image after performing the transformation. If you get stuck, consider using tracing paper.

  1. Translate the shape so that goes to .

    An isometric grid with a blue figure with a point A indicated at the bottom of the figure and point A' down and to the right.
  2. Rotate the shape 180 degrees counterclockwise around .

    An isometric grid with a blue figure with a point B indicated at the top of the figure.
  3. Reflect the shape over the line shown.

    An isometric grid with a blue figure and a line that intersects with the top point on the figure.
