Which transformation does not always result in an image that is congruent to the original figure?
A dilation (or scaling) is a transformation that does not always result in an image that is congruent to the original figure. While translations, rotations, and reflections always produce congruent figures, dilations change the size of the figure, which means the image may be similar to, but not congruent with, the original figure.
Does an isosceles trapezium have any perpendicular lines?
In its normal orientation the parallel sides of a trapezium are horizontal. In that case it will have no perpendicular lines. But turn the figure through 90 degrees and it has two!In its normal orientation the parallel sides of a trapezium are horizontal. In that case it will have no perpendicular lines.

Why does a reflection not preserve orientation of a figure on the plane?
Because a reflection reverses the direction of the component of the wave vector of the light hitting the reflecting surface which is orthogonal to the surface. The component parallel to the surface will not change. This means the light going towards a mirror, will go away from the mirror after reflection. But if it went from the left to the right, it will continue to go from the left to the right. Same with up and down. In three dimensions this is the same as changing the handedness of the image.
What happens to the x and y coordinates when rotating a figure counterclockwise?
A rotation is a transformations when a figure is turned around a point called the point of rotation. The image has the same lengths and angle measures, and differs only in position. Rotations that are counterclockwise are rotations of positive angles. All rotations are assumed to be about the origin. R90 deg (x, y) = (-y, x) R180 deg (x, y) = (-x, -y) R270 deg (x, y) = (y, -x) R360 deg (x, y) = (x, y)
