Study Notes

  • Parallel lines never intersect.
  • Intersecting lines cross each other at a point.
  • Perpendicular lines intersect at a 90-degree angle.

Rotational Symmetry of 3D Objects

  • Axis of rotational symmetry is the imaginary line around which an object can be rotated without changing its appearance.
  • Order of rotational symmetry is the number of times an object looks the same during a full rotation.

Planes of Symmetry for 3D Objects

  • A plane of symmetry divides an object into two identical halves.

Identifying Non-Cylinders, Non-Pyramids, and Non-Prisms

  • Cylinders, pyramids, and prisms have specific geometric properties.
  • Identifying why an object does not match these properties is key.

Drawing Top, Front, and Side Views

  • Top view: what the object looks like from directly above.
  • Front view: what the object looks like from the front.
  • Side view: what the object looks like from the side.

Scale Factors

  • To calculate the length of a bridge in a scaled drawing where 1cm = 500cm, divide the actual length (4500cm) by the scale factor (500). This result is 9cm.
  • To determine the scaled dimensions of a house (48m x 24m) with a scale of 1cm = 6m, divide each dimension by the scale factor (6). This results in 8cm x 4cm.
  • If a park that is 56m long and 21m wide is represented in a drawing with a length of 8cm, then each cm in the drawing represents 7m
  • If a park that is 56m long and 21m wide is represented in a drawing with a width of 3cm, then each cm in the drawing represents 7m
  • If a TV with dimensions of 100cm by 35cm is represented in a scaled drawing wth a length of 10cm, then each cm in the drawing represents 10cm
  • If a TV with dimensions of 100cm by 35cm is represented in a scaled drawing with a width of 3.5cm, then each cm in the drawing represents 10cm

Dilation

  • Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of an object.
  • Enlargement increases the size.
  • Reduction decreases the size.
  • Scale factor (k) quantifies how much the object is enlarged or reduced.

Translations

  • Translations involve moving a shape without rotating or reflecting it.
  • A shape has been translated left 3 units and down 4 units.

Reflections

  • Reflection across the line y = -1 involves flipping a shape over the horizontal line where y is -1
  • Reflection across the line x = 1 involves flipping a shape over the vertical line where x is 1

Reflection

  • Graphing after reflecting a shape requires inverting the y coordinate for reflection about the x-axis.
  • Graphing after reflecting a shape requires inverting the x coordinate for reflection about the y-axis.

Rotation

  • Rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point.
  • 180° rotation means turning a figure halfway around a point.
  • 90° counterclockwise rotation means turning a figure 90 degrees in the opposite direction of the hands on a clock.
