Constructions
Constructions
Geometric constructions are used to draw shapes, lines and angles accurately using a compass and straightedge.
If you are trying to hang a picture or shelf up on the wall, you could construct a line parallel to the ceiling to make sure it is level.
Architects might manually use geometric constructions for their drawings.
Transformations
Transformations
Transformations manipulate and move figures.
Examples in Pac-Man:
- Translations: pac-man moving around
- Reflections: pac-man flipping over to opposite direction
- Rotations: pac-man turning
Examples in Tetris:
- Translations: moving the pieces
- Rotations: turning the pieces
Examples in wind turbines:
- Rotations: the turbines spinning
Examples in water:
- Reflections: the water reflecting whatever is on the land
