Lesson 7
No Bending or Stretching
Let’s compare measurements before and after translations, rotations, and reflections.
Problem 1
Is there a rigid transformation taking Rhombus P to Rhombus Q? Explain how you know.

Rhombus P and Q appear to have the same length bases, but rhombus Q is taller and rhombus P sides have a lower slopes.](https://cms-im.s3.amazonaws.com/1gehNMicYC6otAqLe5ECeXvi?response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%3D%228-8.1.A7.newPP.03.png%22%3B%20filename%2A%3DUTF-8%27%278-8.1.A7.newPP.03.png&response-content-type=image%2Fpng&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAXQCCIHWF3XOEFOW4%2F20240726%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20240726T232832Z&X-Amz-Expires=604800&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=50cd8f8fd6f50439a8a4b6cb55231f56db5f46d735ec53a8b2dca1e45f365ca8)
Problem 2
Describe a rigid transformation that takes Triangle A to Triangle B.

Problem 3
Is there a rigid transformation taking Rectangle A to Rectangle B? Explain how you know.
![Two rectangles, A and B. Rectangle A is tall and thin, and the base is the smaller side. Rectangle B is wider and shorter than rectangle A, and the base is the longer side of B.](https://cms-im.s3.amazonaws.com/gaHfbtD4GR9D7S3FsKLqvSrA?response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%3D%228-8.1.A7.newPP.02.png%22%3B%20filename%2A%3DUTF-8%27%278-8.1.A7.newPP.02.png&response-content-type=image%2Fpng&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAXQCCIHWF3XOEFOW4%2F20240726%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20240726T232832Z&X-Amz-Expires=604800&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=0e67c2b971cb1387d58dabfc12340a3aff9b40700524aa6444fd303c35de0182)
Problem 4
For each shape, draw its image after performing the transformation. If you get stuck, consider using tracing paper.
- Translate the shape so that \(A\) goes to \(A’\).
