INTRODUCTION
Geometric
transformations are
operations that change
the position, size, or
orientation of shapes
while preserving their
basic properties.

RIGID NON-RIGID
• Preserves size and • Preserves shape
shape but not size
• Also called isometries
TYPES OF TRANSFORMATIONS
Rigid
• Translation - "slide"
• Reflection - "flip"
• Rotation - "turn"
Non - Rigid
• Dilation - "stretch or
shrink"
TRANSLATION
A Translation in math move a
shape left/right and up/down
Formula :
A(x,y)
Where,
(x,y) is pre image point
(
DILATION
Dilation is
enlargement/reduction of a
shape.
For Dilation there is Dilation with
scale factor and centre
enlargement.
DILATION
Formula of Dilation with scale
factor :
A(x,y)
Formula of Dilation with scale factor and
centre enlargement :
A(x,y)

SUMMARY
Geometric transformations are operations that change the
position, size, or orientation of shapes while preserving
their basic properties.
They play a crucial role in fields like computer
graphics, engineering, architecture, and art by
enabling us to manipulate and visualize shapes in
various ways.
Understanding and utilizing geometric
transformations empowers us to unlock the magic of
shape-changing possibilities.
Where else have you seen transformations in
your life?
