Study Notes
Composition of Transformations
- Involves applying one transformation to a figure and a second transformation to the resultant image.
- Used to achieve complex transformations through sequential operations.
Corresponding Parts
- Refers to parts of figures that are congruent or similar that correspond to each other.
- Essential in establishing the relationship between figures when proving congruence or similarity.
Indirect Measurement
- A strategy that employs properties of similar polygons to estimate lengths or distances that are challenging to measure using standard methods.
- Useful in various real-world applications, such as surveying and architecture.
Scale Factor
- Defined as the ratio comparing the lengths of two corresponding sides of similar polygons.
- Critical for understanding the proportional relationships in geometric figures.
Similar Figures
- Two figures are considered similar if one can be derived from another through transformations and dilations.
- This concept is foundational in geometry for analyzing shape comparison.
Similar Polygons
- Polygons that share the same shape but may differ in size.
- All corresponding angles are equal, and the lengths of corresponding sides are proportional.
