What characteristics are maintained? (A Transformations Exploration)
Consider the following transformations performed on parallelogram ABCD with coordinates A(2, -2), B(4, 4), C(12, 4), and D(10, -2):
1. a reflection over the x-axis
2. a rotation of 270 degrees about the origin
3. a dilation of scale factor 3 about the origin
4. a translation to the right 5 and down 3
Make predictions about how the lengths, perimeter, area, and angle measures will change under each transformations.
Discuss you predictions with your group.
