Isometry
- Transformation that maintains the shape and size of the object.
- The examples of isometry are translation, reflection and rotation or the
combination of two or three transformations.
Example 1
In the diagram below, figure P’ is the image of figure P under reflection. Therefore, this
transformation is an isometry.
P’
Congruence
- two figures are have the same shape, size and area.
- Two congruent figures can exactly overlap one another.
- Under any isometry, the object and its image are congruent.
Example 2
The diagram below shows two congruent figures. Figure B is the image of figure A. Find
the forms of isometry that map the object onto its image.
A
Solution
A’ → B is a
Axis of reflection
A’ B
A → A’ is a translation
Properties of Quadrilaterals
A quadrilateral is a 2-dimensional closed shape with four straight sides. E.g. The shape
ABCD shown here is a quadrilateral.
A line segment drawn from one vertex of a quadrilateral to the opposite vertex is called a
diagonal of the quadrilateral. AC is a diagonal of quadrilateral ABCD, as is BD.
1. Square
- All sides are equal in length.
- All interior angles are right angles (90 ).
A → A’ is a translation
- Opposite sides are parallel.
- All diagonals are equal, bisect each other and perpendicular of the other.
- Has 4 axes of reflection.
2. Rectangle
- Opposite sides are parallel and equal in length.
- All interior angles are right angles (90 ).
- All diagonals are equal and bisect each other.
- Has 2 axes of reflection.

3. Rhombus
 All sides of a rhombus are equal in length

 Opposite sides are parallel.
 Opposite angles of a rhombus are equal.
 The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.
Note: Rectangles, squares and rhombuses (or diamonds) are parallelograms
4. Parallelogram
 Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and equal in length.

 Opposite angles are equal in size.
5. Kite
 Two pairs of adjacent sides of a kite are equal in length

 One pair of opposite angles (the ones that are between the sides of unequal length)
are equal in size.
 One diagonal bisects the other.
 Diagonals intersect at right angles.
Example 2
Find the value of x and y in the following diagram.
Solution:
x = 115 (Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal)
y = 65 (Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal)
Example 3
Find the value of the x and y in the following diagram.
Solution
Angle y and 110 are the angles of opposite and between two unequal sides of a kite.
Therefore, y = 110
So, x + y + 65 + 110 = 360 (The total of interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360 )

x + 110 + 65 + 110 = 360
x + 285 = 360
x = 75
Similarity
- Two shapes are similar if corresponding angles are the same and the
corresponding sides are proportional.
Example 3
∆ABC and ∆PQR are similar. Find the length of PQ.
A
P
12.5 cm
C 8.4 cm B R 3.36 cm Q
Solution
=
PQ = x 3.36 cm
= 5 cm
Therefore, the length of PQ is 5 cm.

Centre of enlargement
Properties
- The object and its image are similar.
- Has centre of enlargement and scale factor.
Scale factor = = = or
= = = or
=
- The image bigger than object if the scale factor > 1
- The image smaller than object if the scale factor < 1.
- If the scale factor = 1, the all the points on the plane remain in their
respective positions.
Test yourself
1. If A(3, -7) is mapped onto A’(-5, 11) under a translation, find the coordinates of the
image of B(-3, 15) under the same translation.
2. If P(-4, 7) is mapped onto P’(6, 7) under a reflection, find the coordinates of the
image of Q(-5, -4) under the same translation
