Math Problem Statement
Solution
To fully describe the transformation of square ABCD based on the given information:
Given:
- A transformation maps:
- to
- to
- The only invariant point is
Analysis:
-
Rotation Center: The only invariant point is . This means that the transformation likely involves a rotation around the point .
-
Determining the Angle of Rotation:
- is mapped to , meaning point rotates to become point .
- The distance from to the invariant point is 2 units (since it's vertically aligned).
- After the rotation, is horizontally aligned with the invariant point and also 2 units away, suggesting a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation.
-
Verifying for to :
- If we apply the same 90-degree counterclockwise rotation to , it should map to , which holds true as it moves 2 units above the invariant point.
Conclusion:
The transformation is a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation about the point , which is the invariant point.
Do you need further details or have any questions?
Expanding questions:
- What would the transformation look like if it were a 90-degree clockwise rotation instead?
- How do you calculate the matrix for a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation?
- Can you perform a rotation about a point other than the origin mathematically?
- What other types of transformations could maintain a single invariant point?
- How does this transformation change the side lengths and angles of the square?
Tip: To confirm a rotation transformation, always check distances between points before and after the transformation to verify the correctness of the angle and center of rotation.
