Chapter 10: Transformations and congruence Notes

Reflections, translations and rotations on the Cartesian plane, line and rotational symmetry, congruent figures, the congruence tests for triangles, and similar figures with scale factors.

Sections

  1. 10A Reflections and translations Mastered

    Reflecting points and shapes in the x-axis, y-axis and other lines, and translating them by a given number of units across and up or down.

  2. 10B Rotations and symmetry Mastered

    Rotating points by 90°, 180° and 270° about the origin, line symmetry and rotational symmetry of shapes.

  3. 10C Congruent figures and congruent triangles Mastered

    Congruent figures and matching sides and angles, and the four tests for congruent triangles SSS, SAS, AAS and RHS.

  4. 10D Enlargements and similar figures Mastered

    Enlargements and scale factors, similar figures, finding missing sides using the scale factor, and shadow problems.
