What is a Transformation?
A transformation is the process of changing the graph of a figure or a shape. The instructor introduces the four most common transformations: reflection, dilation, rotation, and translation. So watch as she draws the transformations on a...

What is a Translation?
A translation means moving a figure to another location by sliding it. The figure, called the image, maintains its size and shape. You can move the image horizontally, vertically, or a combination of both.

How Do You Find the Measures of Exterior Angles of a Polygon if You Know the Interior Angles?
What are the exterior angles of a polygon? Polygons have exterior angles? How? Oh, extend all the lines, and find the value of each of the supplementary angles. No problem as long as one knows what supplementary angles means. Not sure?...
