Geometry Rigid Transformations Test: questions 1–5
Question 1: Translate a triangle (2 points)
Translate triangle \(ABC\) by \(\langle -4,\,3\rangle\). Write the coordinates of the three image vertices.
Question 2: Reflect over y = x (2 points)

- \((0,\,-6)\)
Question 4: Sequence of transformations (3 points)
Triangle \(DEF\) has vertices \(D(1,\,2)\), \(E(4,\,2)\), \(F(1,\,6)\). It is reflected over the y-axis and then translated by \(\langle 2,\,-3\rangle\).
- Find the coordinates of the final image. (2 points)
- Show that side \(DE\) has the same length as its final image. (1 point)
Question 5: Identify the transformation (2 points)
Triangle \(ABC\) is mapped onto triangle \(A^{\prime}B^{\prime}C^{\prime}\). Name the transformation and describe it completely.
Geometry Rigid Transformations Test: questions 6–9
Question 6: Rigid or not rigid (2 points)
The rule \((x,\,y)\) to \((x,\,3y)\) is applied to segment \(AB\) with \(A(1,\,1)\) and \(B(1,\,4)\).
- Find the length of \(AB\) and the length of its image. (1 point)
- Is the rule a rigid transformation? Explain. (1 point)
Question 7: Symmetry (3 points)
A regular octagon is shown.
- How many lines of symmetry does it have? (1 point)
- What is the smallest positive rotation about its center that maps it onto itself? (1 point)
- How many lines of symmetry does a rectangle that is not a square have? (1 point)
Question 8: Describe a sequence (2 points)
Rectangle \(ABCD\) is mapped onto rectangle \(A^{\prime}B^{\prime}C^{\prime}D^{\prime}\) by a sequence of two rigid transformations. Describe one such sequence.
Question 9: Robot position (2 points)
Diego programs a robot that starts at \((-3,\,4)\) on a grid. It reflects over the x-axis and then moves by the vector \(\langle 5,\,2\rangle\). Where does it end?
