2D Transformation Questions Using Matrices

1■■ Rotation of 2D Shapes Using Matrices (90°, 180°, 270°)


1. Rotate the point P(3, 2) 90° anticlockwise about the origin using matrices.
2. Rotate the triangle with vertices A(0,0), B(4,0), C(4,3) 180° about the origin. Draw the image and
give its new coordinates.
3. Rotate the point Q(-3, 4) 270° clockwise about the origin.
4. A rectangle has vertices R(1,1), S(5,1), T(5,3), U(1,3). Rotate it 90° clockwise about the origin.
Find the coordinates of R', S', T', U'.
5. Explain why the matrix [[0, -1], [1, 0]] represents a 90° anticlockwise rotation.

2■■ Enlargement of 2D Shapes Using Matrices


1. Enlarge the point P(2,3) by a scale factor of 2 using a matrix.
2. The matrix [[3, 0], [0, 3]] represents an enlargement. What is its scale factor?
3. Enlarge the triangle with vertices A(1,0), B(2,0), C(2,2) by a scale factor of 0.5 using matrices.
4. What effect does the matrix [[k, 0], [0, k]] have on any 2D shape?
5. A square of side 2 units is enlarged to a square of side 6 units. Find the matrix that represents
this enlargement.

3■■ Shear Transformation


1. The matrix [[1, k], [0, 1]] represents a shear parallel to the x-axis. Apply this transformation with k
= 2 to the point P(3,4).
2. Transform the triangle A(0,0), B(2,0), C(2,1) using the matrix [[1, 0], [k, 1]] with k=1. Draw the
image.
3. Describe fully the shear represented by [[1, 3], [0, 1]] (state the shear factor, direction, and axis
that is invariant).
4. A shear maps P(2,3) to P'(8,3). Find the shear matrix.
5. True or False: A shear always preserves the area of a shape. Explain your answer.

4■■ Stretch Transformation


1. The matrix [[2, 0], [0, 1]] represents a stretch. What axis is invariant? By what factor does it
stretch?
2. Apply the stretch [[1, 0], [0, 3]] to the point P(4,1).
3. Transform the triangle A(0,0), B(3,0), C(3,1) using [[2, 0], [0, 1]]. Draw both triangles and
describe the transformation fully.
4. Find the stretch matrix that leaves the y-axis invariant but stretches the x-coordinates by a factor
of 5.
5. Explain the difference between a stretch and an enlargement.
