Today, we are going to learn about how enlargements work in geometry. When we enlarge a shape, we keep the same proportions but change the size. Can anyone explain what happens to triangle ABC if we enlarge it by a scale factor of 2?
The triangle will double in size!
Exactly! Each coordinate of the triangle will be multiplied by 2. For example, if point A is at (1, 1), what will the new coordinates be after enlargement?
It will be at (2, 2).
Correct! Now, let's apply this to all vertices and see how triangle ABC transforms.
Exploring Rotation

Now that we've enlarged the triangle, letโs rotate it 90 degrees counter-clockwise around the origin. Who can remind me what we need to do for rotation?
We swap the x and y coordinates and change the sign of the new x-coordinate!
Great job! So if B' is at (6, 2), what does it become after the rotation?
It becomes (-2, 6).
Right again! Now let's move on and apply this to all points of our enlarged triangle.
Final Step: Reflection

The last transformation is a reflection across the x-axis. Does anyone remember what happens to the coordinates?
We change the sign of the y-coordinates!
Exactly! So, if point A'' is at (-2, 2), what will A''' be after the reflection?
It will be (-2, -2).
Great! Let's find the coordinates for all points after the reflection now.

Wow! Weโve gone through three transformations: enlargement by 2, rotation, and reflection. Can anyone summarize what we've learned?
We enlarged triangle ABC to create A'B'C', then rotated it 90 degrees to get A''B''C'', and finally reflected it across the x-axis.
Exactly! And remember, the order of transformations is essential as it affects the final image. What transformations did we apply in order?
Enlargement first, then rotation, and reflection last.
Well done, everyone! Remember, understanding how transformations work helps us see the relationships between different shapes and their properties.

Quick Overview
Standard
The section provides a detailed examination of three transformations applied to triangle ABC: enlargement by a scale factor, rotation around the origin, and reflection across the x-axis. Through clear examples, students will understand the composition of transformations and the rules governing them.
Detailed
Detailed Summary
In this section, we delve into the fascinating concept of transformations in geometry, focusing on three significant types: enlargement, rotation, and reflection. Transformations allow a geometric figure to be altered in terms of size, position, or orientation while maintaining its shape and properties. These transformations can be applied individually or in sequence, resulting in various new images.
Transformations
- Enlargement (Dilation): This transformation scales the size of the figure either larger or smaller while keeping its shape intact. For triangle ABC, the initial enlargement by a scale factor of 2 means that points A, B, and C move further away from the origin, effectively doubling their distance.
- Rotation: After the enlargement, the triangle is then subjected to a rotation of 90 degrees counter-clockwise around the origin. It turns the triangle in a manner that alters its orientation, but the shape remains constant.
- Reflection: The final transformation applied to the newly rotated triangle is reflection across the x-axis. This flips the triangle over this axis, giving it a mirror-image orientation.
In this unit, students will work through examples of how these transformations can be calculated sequentially, ensuring they recognize the importance of the order in which transformations occur, as it affects the final outcome. Students will strengthen their understanding of geometrical alterations and the preservation of properties through various operations.

Triangle ABC has vertices A(1, 1), B(3, 1), C(2, 3).
Detailed Explanation
This chunk introduces a triangle ABC with specified vertices on a coordinate plane. The coordinates for A, B, and C define the positions of the triangle in a two-dimensional space.
Examples & Analogies
Think of this triangle as a slice of pizza on a table, where each point (A, B, C) marks a corner of the slice.
First Transformation: Enlargement

Transformation 1: Enlarge triangle ABC by a scale factor of 2, center at the origin.
- A'(2, 2), B'(6, 2), C'(4, 6)
Detailed Explanation
In this step, the triangle is enlarged from its original size using a scale factor of 2. This means each point on the triangle moves away from the origin (0, 0) and doubles its distance from this point. For example, point A(1, 1) moves to A'(2, 2) because it doubles its distance from the origin.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine zooming in on a photo of the pizza slice: it gets bigger, but the shape remains the same.
Second Transformation: Rotation

Transformation 2: Rotate the image A'B'C' 90 degrees counter-clockwise around the origin.
- A''(-2, 2)
- B''(-2, 6)
- C''(-6, 4)
Detailed Explanation
After enlarging the triangle, the next step is to rotate the enlarged image 90 degrees counter-clockwise around the origin. The rotation is a turn that changes the orientation of the triangle while keeping its size and shape intact. Each new position of the vertices is determined by applying the rotation rules.
Examples & Analogies
This is similar to turning the pizza slice to face a different direction on the table: it still has the same size, just facing a new way.
Third Transformation: Reflection

Transformation 3: Reflect the image A''B''C'' across the x-axis.
- A'''(-2, -2)
- B'''(-2, -6)
- C'''(-6, -4)
Detailed Explanation
The final transformation involves reflecting the triangle across the x-axis. This means that for every point of the triangle, its y-coordinate changes sign, creating a mirror image of the triangle over the x-axis. Consequently, points that were above the x-axis move to below it, maintaining the same distance from the axis.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine taking the pizza slice and flipping it over so that the toppings flip down into the plate. The shape remains unchanged, but its position relative to the x-axis is now inverted.

Result: The final image is A'''B'''C''' with vertices (-2, -2), (-2, -6), (-6, -4).
Detailed Explanation
This chunk presents the final coordinates of the transformed triangle. Each vertex has been adjusted through the three transformations (enlargement, rotation, and reflection). The new coordinates (-2, -2), (-2, -6), and (-6, -4) now illustrate the final position of the triangle on the coordinate plane.
Examples & Analogies
Think of the journey of our pizza slice: it started in one spot, grew larger, turned to face a new direction, and then flipped over, giving us its new position on the table.
