Geometric Transformations

Welcome! We'll be exploring the fascinating world of geometric


transformations, a fundamental concept in mathematics with
applications in various fields.
Introduction to Transformations
Transformations Types of Transformations

Transformations are operations that change the We will explore four main types: translations,
position, size, or orientation of geometric shapes. enlargements, rotations, and reflections.
Defining Transformations
1 1. Translations 2 2. Enlargements
Shifting a shape Changing the size of a

size or orientation. A preserving its
shape is moved in a orientation. The shape
specific direction. is made bigger or
smaller.

3 3. Rotations
Turning a shape around a fixed point, known as the
center of rotation. The shape is rotated by a specific
angle.
Properties of Translations
Vector
A translation can be described by a vector, which
represents the direction and distance of the shift.

Direction
The direction of the vector determines the
direction of the translation, and its magnitude
determines the distance.
Enlargements: Scale Factors and Similarity

Scale Factor
The ratio of the corresponding side lengths of the original and

enlarged shapes.

Similarity
2 Enlargements preserve shape. Similar shapes
have the same angles, but different side lengths.
Rotations: Degrees,
Direction, and Pivot Point

degrees.

Pivot Point
The point around which the
shape rotates.
Composing Multiple
Transformations

1 Sequence
Multiple transformations can be combined in a
specific order, producing a complex outcome.

2 Order Matters
The order of transformations is crucial and can
result in different final positions and
orientations.
Real-World Applications of
Transformations
Design Computer Graphics
Transformations are used Transformations are the
extensively in design foundation of computer
software, enabling graphics, used for
resizing, positioning, and creating animations, 3D
rotating graphics. models, and virtual reality
experiences.

Engineering
Transformations are used in engineering to analyze
structures and simulate physical processes.
Summary and Key Takeaways
We've delved into the world of transformations, understanding
their basic definitions, properties, and applications.
Remember, geometric transformations are a powerful tool with
a wide range of applications.
