Reflections and Translations #2

Does Order Matter?

1. Describe a sequence of transformations that will take Figure A onto Figure B. 2. If you reverse the order of your sequence, will the reverse sequence still take A onto B? 3. Describe a sequence of transformations that will take Figure A onto Figure C. 4. If you reverse the order of your sequence, will the reverse sequence still take A onto C?

GeoGebra Tools

You task is to move Polygon A. (Polygon B and C are locked) To Translate: 1) Create a vector by clicking on Toolbar Image and plotting two points 2) To translate, select Toolbar Image a) Then click the center of Polygon A b) Then click on the center of the Vector you created. To Reflect: 1) Create a line by on Toolbar Image and plotting two points (or just use the lines that are already drawn) 2) To reflect, select Toolbar Image a) Then click the center of the Polygon b) Then click on the center of the Line
