If you rotate a square 90 degrees clockwise, what shape do you see?
Answer: Square
A square looks identical after a 90-degree rotation because all sides are equal and all angles are right angles.
A clock shows 3:00. If the minute hand rotates 180 degrees, where does it now point?
Answer: 6
At 3:00 the minute hand points to 12, and rotating it 180° takes it to the opposite side, pointing to 6.
If an image is reflected across a vertical axis, which property changes?
Answer: Left-right orientation
A reflection across a vertical axis flips the image so that the left and right sides are reversed.
Which shape has exactly 4 lines of symmetry?
Answer: Square
A square has 4 lines of symmetry: two through opposite corners and two through midpoints of opposite sides.
Which transformation moves every point of a shape the same distance in the same direction without any rotation or reflection?
Answer: Translation
A translation slides a shape in a specific direction without changing its size, shape, or orientation.
A shape is enlarged by a scale factor of 3 and the original area was 4 square units. What is the new area?
Answer: 36 square units
When a shape is scaled by factor k, area scales by k², so 4 × 3² = 4 × 9 = 36 square units.
