Translations

The  exercise appears under the Geometry Math Mission. This exercise practices translation on the coordinate plane in any direction.

Types of Problems
There is one type of problem in this exercise:


 * 1) Create the specified translation: This problem provides a figure and a direction for a translation. The student is expected to create the image after the figure is translated in the specified direction.Translations1.png

Strategies
Knowledge of the coordinate plane and geometric transformations, particularly translations, are encouraged to ensure success on this exercise.
 * 1) The horizontal and vertical components are need to determine a translation and can be given in the form of a rectangular vector.

Real-life Applications

 * 1) Translation is a size preserving transformation, so figures are kept congruent, and it also preserves orientation
 * 2) Art, modern and classic, have connections with all geometric transformations.
 * 3) Architecture, drafting and engineering make use of geometric transformations.
