Question

  1. select all of the following transformations that preserve distance.

□ a. reflection over the y-axis
□ b. (x, y) —→ (6x, 6y)
□ c. rotation 90° clockwise about the origin
□ d. (x, y) —→ (x, −y)
□ e. dilation with scale factor 0.5 centered at the origin
□ f. (x, y) —→ (x − 8, y + 3)

  1. use the law of detachment to make a conclusion.

if a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a line segment, then the point is equidistant from the segment’s endpoints.
the midpoint of \\(\overline{ab}\\) is x.
\\(\overrightarrow{xy}\\) is perpendicular to \\(\overline{ab}\\).
point l is on \\(\overrightarrow{xy}\\).
ⓐ point l is not on the perpendicular bisector of \\(\overline{ab}\\).
ⓑ point l is equidistant to points x and y.
ⓒ point l is equidistant from points a and b.
ⓓ point l is not equidistant from points a and b.

  1. in \\(\triangle abc\\), point d is the midpoint of \\(\overline{ac}\\). fill in the blanks to prove the isosceles triangle theorem.

given: \\(\overline{ab} \cong \overline{bc}\\)
prove: \\(\angle a \cong \angle c\\)
it is \\(\square\\) that \\(\overline{ab} \cong \overline{bc}\\).
by the reflexive property \\(\overline{bd} \cong \square\\). since d is the midpoint of \\(\overline{ac}\\), \\(\square \cong \overline{cd}\\).
so \\(\triangle abd \cong \triangle cbd\\) by \\(\square\\).
therefore \\(\angle a \cong \angle c\\) by \\(\square\\).

Explanation:

Problem 1

Step1: Recall distance - preserving transformations

Distance - preserving transformations (rigid transformations) include reflections, rotations, and translations. Dilations are not distance - preserving as they scale the figure.

  • Option A: Reflection over the \(y\) - axis is a rigid transformation. It preserves the distance between points.
  • Option B: The transformation \((x,y)\to(6x,6y)\) is a dilation with a scale factor of \(6\). Dilations change the distance between points (they scale the length), so it does not preserve distance.
  • Option C: Rotation \(90^{\circ}\) clockwise about the origin is a rigid transformation. It preserves the distance between points.
  • Option D: The transformation \((x,y)\to(x, - y)\) is a reflection over the \(x\) - axis, which is a rigid transformation and preserves distance.
  • Option E: Dilation with a scale factor of \(0.5\) changes the distance between points (it scales the length down), so it does not preserve distance.
  • Option F: The transformation \((x,y)\to(x - 8,y + 3)\) is a translation. Translations are rigid transformations and preserve distance.

Step2: Select the correct options

Based on the above analysis, the transformations that preserve distance are A, C, D, F.

Step1: Recall the Law of Detachment

The Law of Detachment states that if we have a conditional statement \(p\to q\) (where \(p\) is the hypothesis and \(q\) is the conclusion) and we know that \(p\) is true, then we can conclude that \(q\) is true.

  • The conditional statement is: "If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a line segment, then the point is equidistant from the segment’s endpoints." Here, \(p\): "a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a line segment" and \(q\): "the point is equidistant from the segment’s endpoints".
  • We are given that the midpoint of \(\overline{AB}\) is \(X\) and \(\overrightarrow{XY}\) is perpendicular to \(\overline{AB}\), so point \(L\) (on \(\overrightarrow{XY}\)) is on the perpendicular bisector of \(\overline{AB}\) (so \(p\) is true for point \(L\) and segment \(\overline{AB}\)).
  • By the Law of Detachment, we can conclude that point \(L\) is equidistant from points \(A\) and \(B\).

Step2: Select the correct option

Among the given options, option C states that "Point \(L\) is equidistant from points \(A\) and \(B\)".

Step1: Analyze the first blank

We are told that \(\overline{AB}\cong\overline{BC}\). This is given to us as part of the problem statement. So the first blank should be filled with "given".

Step2: Analyze the second blank (Reflexive Property)

The Reflexive Property states that a segment is congruent to itself. So \(\overline{BD}\cong\overline{BD}\) (by Reflexive Property).

Step3: Analyze the third blank (Midpoint property)

Since \(D\) is the midpoint of \(\overline{AC}\), by the definition of a midpoint, \(\overline{AD}\cong\overline{CD}\).

Step4: Analyze the fourth blank (Triangle Congruence Criterion)

We have \(\overline{AB}\cong\overline{BC}\) (given), \(\overline{BD}\cong\overline{BD}\) (Reflexive Property), and \(\overline{AD}\cong\overline{CD}\) (midpoint). So, by the SSS (Side - Side - Side) Congruence Criterion, \(\triangle ABD\cong\triangle CBD\).

Step5: Analyze the fifth blank (CPCTC)

CPCTC (Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent) states that if two triangles are congruent, then their corresponding angles are congruent. Since \(\triangle ABD\cong\triangle CBD\), \(\angle A\cong\angle C\) by CPCTC.

Answer:

A, C, D, F
