2 D Transformation 2
2 D Transformation 2
Consider a unit square with position vectors 𝑂 [0 0], 𝐴[1 0], 𝐵 [1 1], 𝐶 [1 1]
𝑎 𝑏
Let [𝑇] = [ ] be the transformation matrix.
𝑐 𝑑
Applying [𝑇] on the position vectors of the unit square OABC, we get,
𝑂 0 0
𝐴 1 0 𝑎 𝑏
[ ] [𝑇] = [ ][ ]
𝐵 1 1 𝑐 𝑑
𝐶 0 1
0 0 𝑂′
𝑎 𝑏 𝐴′
=[ ] = [ ′]
𝑎+𝑐 𝑏+𝑑 𝐵
𝑐 𝑑 𝐶′
= 𝑎𝑑 − 𝑏𝑐
= 𝑑𝑒𝑡[𝑇]
Thus, area of the transformed figure = (Area of the original figure) x det [T]
Combined / Concatenated Transformation Matrix
Definition: If a finite sequence of transformations says 𝑇1, 𝑇2, 𝑇3, … … . . 𝑇𝑘 are
applied on an object, then it can be accomplished by a single transformation matrix,
[𝑇] = [𝑇1 ][𝑇2] … … . . [𝑇𝑘 ] called as the combined or concatenated transformation
matrix.
Problems:
1. Find the combined transformation matrix for the following sequence of

2. Find the concatenated transformation matrix for the following: First shearing in

about the origin through an angle 20° . Apply this onto the point 𝑃 [−1 3].
Problems:
1. Find the combined transformation matrix for the following sequence of
