Q:

All side lengths in quadrilateral PQRS measure 4 units. A transformation maps PQRS to P'Q'R'S'. All sides of P'Q'R'S' measure 1 unit. Is the transformation an isometric transformation? Explain

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The side lengths are not preservedIs not an isometric transformationStep-by-step explanation:we know thatAn isometric transformation is a shape-preserving transformation in the plane. Is a transformation that preserves the distance and angles between the original figure and the transformed figure. Examples of isometric transformation are: translation, reflection, rotation. In this problem, the side lengths of quadrilateral PQRS are different of the side lengths of quadrilateral P'Q'R'S'.thereforeThe side lengths are not preservedIs not an isometric transformation
