Definition: A rigid transformation (also called an isometry) is a transformation of the plane that preserves length.


Four types of isometries:


1. Translation -- sliding a shape from one spot to another on the xy-plane;


2. Reflection -- creating a mirror image of a shape by reflecting a shape over a line, called the axis of reflection, on the xy-plane;


3. Rotation -- rotating a shape around a point, called the center of rotation, on the xy-plane;


4. Glide reflection -- a composite transformation which is a translation followed by a reflection in line parallel to the direction of translation.


Translations, reflections, and rotations don't change the shape or size of the shape being transformed, so we can see that these three types of transformations are isometric, the glide reflection doesn't change the shape or size of the shape being transformed, but changes orientation.


A composition or sequence of isometries occurs when two or more transformations are combined to form a new transformation. In a composition, one transformation produces an image upon which the other transformation is then performed (as for the glide reflection). The composition of isometries is always the isometry (preserves lengths).


Answer: correct choice is B.

What is the interest if a sum of $5200 is invested for 36month at 15% per annum​
Serggg [28]

Answer:

I = 2,340

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for interest is

I = P × R × T / 100

P = $5200

R = 15%

T= 36 months; T is meant to be in years so we will convert it from months to years

1 year = 12 months

So 36 months

= 36 /12 = 3 years

I = (5200 × 15 × 3)/100

I = 234,000 / 100

I = 2,340

The width of a rectangular swimming pool is 12 meters less than the length, and the perimeter is 72 meters. Find its dimensions
Elis [28]

Answer:

The dimensions are 24 and 12 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

W + L + W + L = 72   perimeter

(L-12) + L + (L-12) + L = 72

4L - 24 = 72

4L = 72 + 24 = 96  ====>  L = 96%2F4 = 24.
