12.1.4 Compositions of Transformations - Worksheet

Example 1: Draw the result of each composition of isometries. 1. Translate △ DEF along u and then reflect it across line l .

2. Reflect rectangle PQRS across line m and then translate it along v .

3.  △ ABC has vertices A (1, − l), B (4, − l), and C (3, 2). Reflect △ ABC across the y -axis and then translate it along the vector 〈 0, − 2 〉 .

Example 2: 4.  To create the opening graphics for a televised football game, an animator reflects a picture of a football helmet across line l . She then reflects its image across line m , which intersects line l at a 50° angle. Describe a single transformation that moves the helmet from its starting position to its final position.

Example 3: Copy each figure and draw two lines of reflection that produce an equivalent transformation. 5. translation: △ EFG → △ EFG′ E 6. rotation with center P : △ ABC → △ A′B ′ C B’ C’
