A rigid transformation is when a shape is moved with no changes to its shape whereas a size transformation is when a shape is moved with its shape becoming smaller or larger.


When a shape gets larger or smaller?

Under a mathematical transformation which is sometimes called rescaling.


Why planets are of regular in shape while meteors are irregular in shape?

Because of their larger gravity, AND their larger size. Larger gravity will allow smaller hills or other irregularities; larger size means that an irregularity of a certain size will smaller, compared to the size of the planet.


What is size transformation?

A size transformation changes the size of a shape. For example, (3x,3y) has lines 3 times longer than the preimage and has an area 9 times larger.

Why are mars moons and the smaller moons of the outer planets an irregular shape while the larger moons discussed in the exploration are spherical?

Mars' moons are much smaller than, for example, Earth's Moon, or the larger moons of Jupiter. A large moon will have a larger gravity, which will tend to pull the moon together into a spherical shape.


What is a similarity transformation different from a congruence transformation?
