Question

read the sentences below, filling in the blanks with items from this list. each item will be used once.

a transformation that resizes a figure by applying a scale factor is called

a transformation that flips a figure across a line to create a mirror image is called

a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point is called

a transformation that slides a figure to a new location without changing its size or orientation is called

two figures are similar if they have the same corresponding angles that are congruent, and proportional side lengths.

the ratio that describes how much a figure is enlarged or reduced during a dilation is called the

a sequence of transformations, including dilation, rotation, translation, and reflection, that creates similar figures is called a similarity

the relationship between two figures whose corresponding side lengths are in the same ratio is called

a coordinate plane is a useful tool to visualize transformations and compare between figures.

similar figures have the same but they have different sizes.

Explanation:

• For the first blank, dilation is defined as a transformation that resizes a figure using a scale factor.
• Reflection is the transformation that flips a figure across a line to create a mirror image.
• Rotation turns a figure around a fixed point.
• Translation slides a figure to a new location without changing size or orientation.
• Similar figures have the same shape, congruent corresponding angles, and proportional side - lengths.
• The scale factor is the ratio for resizing in dilation.
• A similarity transformation is a sequence of transformations (dilation, rotation, translation, reflection) creating similar figures.
• Proportionality is the relationship of corresponding side - lengths in the same ratio.
• A coordinate plane helps compare relationships between figures.
• Similar figures have the same shape but different sizes.
