Math Problem Statement
How does triangle ABC transform to get to triangle A’B’C’
Solution
To determine the transformation from triangle ABC to triangle A’B’C’, let's carefully analyze the provided image.
Observations:
- The triangles are located in a coordinate plane divided into four quadrants.
- Triangle ABC appears in the lower-left quadrant (Quadrant III).
- Triangle A'B'C' appears in the upper-right quadrant (Quadrant I).
- The orientation and relative sizes of the triangles are identical, indicating that there is no resizing involved.
Type of Transformation:
Given the position change and identical orientation:
- Reflection: Since the triangle moved from Quadrant III to Quadrant I, and the orientation remains the same, this transformation is a reflection.
- Reflection Axis: The reflection occurred over both the x-axis and the y-axis (i.e., a reflection through the origin).
Conclusion:
The transformation that maps triangle ABC to triangle A'B'C' is a reflection across both the x-axis and the y-axis, or equivalently, a 180-degree rotation around the origin.

- What is the general rule for reflecting a point over the y-axis?
- How does the reflection over the x-axis differ from the reflection over the y-axis?
- Can a reflection be considered a type of isometry?
- How would the transformation change if triangle ABC moved to Quadrant II instead?
- What are the coordinates of points A', B', and C' if the coordinates of A, B, and C are given?
Tip: When identifying transformations, focus on the position, orientation, and size of the figure before and after the transformation.
