In this program we look at applications of transformations. We do this in the context of three real-world applications. In the first, we look at translations and rotations in the context of roller coaster rides. In the second example we look at translations in three-dimensional space in the context of cargo ships. In the third example, we look at the design of observatories to look at rotations, reflections, and symmetry.

Cargo ships transport tons of merchandise from one country to another and accounts for most of the global economy. Loading and unloading these ships requires a great deal of organization and provides an ideal example of three-dimensional translations.

Topic

Transformations

Description

This example demonstrates a simple translation in geometric transformations. Two "T" shapes are shown on a grid, labeled "Before" and "After". The "Before" shape on the left is translated to become the "After" shape on the right, illustrating how an object can move position without changing its size or orientation.

Topic

Transformations

Description

This example showcases a combination of reflection and translation in geometric transformations. Two circular "O" shapes are displayed on a grid, one labeled "Before" and the other "After". A red dashed line indicates the axis of reflection. The transformation involves first reflecting the shape across this axis and then translating it to a new position. This demonstrates how multiple transformations can be applied in sequence to create more complex movements.
