How Do You Make a Figure Larger Using a Dilation?
A dilation increases or decreases the size of a figure. In this lesson the teacher shows you how to use a scale factor of three to dilate the given figure. She identifies the ordered pairs, multiplies them by three, plots the new...

What Does Congruent Mean?
Two figures are congruent if they have the same size and shape. Line segments can also be congruent if they are of the same length. Vertical angles created by intersecting lines are always congruent. Polygons that have matching angles...

What are Acute, Obtuse, Right, and Straight Angles?
Angles are identified by the measurement of their angles. Well, that would make sense. The instructor illustrates four different angles and their names by identifying their degrees. Zero to less than 90 degrees is an acute angle, while...

How Do You Find Measures of Missing Exterior Angles?
The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is always 360 degrees. So knowing this, finding missing exterior angles can be done as long as there is only one variable in the equation. All that needs to be done is to add all the known...

What is a Polygon?
What makes a figure a polygon? Does it have three or more sides? Is it a closed figure? If the answer is yes to both of those questions then it's a polygon. But wait! Some of these polygons have special names based on the number of sides...

How Do You Find a Missing Angle in a Quadrilateral?
Oh no, there is a missing angle in a quadrilateral. Where did it go? It didn't go anywhere, it's just missing the value of the angle. So how do you find that missing value? Use a formula of course. Everything in algebra uses a formula....

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 Use Coordinates to Translate a Figure Horizontally?
There are many ways to transform a figure on a coordinate plane. This problem requires the movement to be four units horizontally to the right. Using the original coordinate pairs, a positive 4 can be added to each x-value to get the new...

How Do You Use Coordinates to Translate a Figure Vertically?
Transform the figure six units vertically down. Use the given coordinate points to translate by subtracting 6 from each of the given y-values. Then plot the new coordinates points and connect the dots.
