Unit 9 Flashcards
A proportion is an equation that states that two ratios are _____.
Equal
Angle of _____ symmetry is the smallest angle through which a preimage can be rotated to coincide with its image.
Rotational
A ____ is a repeating pattern that completely covers a plane with no gaps or overlaps.
Tessellation
Similar polygons are polygons whose corresponding _____ are congruent and whose corresponding sides are proportional.
Angles
A translation is a congruent transformation along a vector such that each segment joining a point and its _____ has the same length as the vector and is parallel to the vector.
Image
A _____ reflection is the composition of transformations that results when a translation is followed by a reflection across a line parallel to the translation vector.
Glide
The ratio of the length of one side of a polygon with the length of a corresponding side of a similar polygon is called the _____ ratio.
Similarity
The first and last terms of a proportion are called the _____.
Extremes
A dilation is a noncongruent transformation in which the _____, but not the shape of a geometric figure is changed.
Size
_____ of rotational symmetry is the number of times an image can coincide with its preimage as it rotates through 360°.
Order
A translation is a congruent transformation along a vector such that each segment joining a _____ and its image has the same length as the vector and is parallel to the vector.
Point
A _____ is the ratio of any linear measurement of the image to the corresponding measurement of the preimage in a dilation.
Scale factor
A quantity that has both length and direction is called a(n) _____.
Vector
A _____ transformation is a noncongruent transformation in which the points on a given line in a geometric figure remain fixed while other points of the figure are shifted parallel to the line by a distance proportional to their perpendicular distance from the line.
Shear
A _____ is the composition of transformations that results when a translation is followed by a reflection across a line parallel to the translation vector.
