Transformation

1. Translation 2. Reflection 3. Enlargement 4. Rotation

1-Translation: A translation moves a shape. All points of the shape must be moved by the
same amount.
A translation can be up or down and left or right.

1. Translate shape A by ⌈ ⌉

3. Triangle UNH onto Triangle U’N’H’ 4. Triangle ALP onto Triangle A’L’P’
 [Link] onto H’N’W’Y’ 6. Triangle TPB onto Triangle T’P’B’.

2-Reflection:
A reflection is a mirror image of a shape. For a reflection we need a line of reflection ( a mirror
line ). When a shape is reflected it is flipped over the mirror line.
After a shape is reflected each new point is the same distance from the mirror line as the
original point.

3-Enlargement:
An enlargement changes the size of a shape. The shape can get bigger or smaller.
To enlarge a shape we need to know the scale factor and the centre of enlargement. The scale
factor tells us how many times bigger ( or smaller ) the shape is.
[Link] shape A by scale factor 3, [Link] the single transformation that
centre (2,5) maps shape A onto shape B.
Practice Questions: Enlarge each shape by the scale factor given. Use P as the centre of
enlargement.

4-Rotation: A rotation turns a shape around a fixed point. The fixed point is called the centre
of rotation.
