(Sine rule used for all triangles unlike Pythagoras theorem and Trigonometric Ratios.)
Sine rule is
𝑎 𝑏 𝑐
= 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝐵 = 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝐶
𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝐴
We can use the sine rule when we are given one side and any two angles. We can
also use the sine rule when we are given two sides and one angle and the angle that
is given is corresponding to one of these sides.
(Cosine rule used for all triangles unlike Pythagoras theorem and Trigonometric
Ratios.)
Cosine rule

cos 𝐴 = Or 𝑎2 = 𝑏2 + 𝑐 2 − 2𝑏𝑐 cos 𝐴

𝑎2 +𝑐 2 −𝑏 2
cos 𝐵 = Or 𝑏2 = 𝑎2 + 𝑐 2 − 2𝑎𝑐 cos 𝐵
2𝑎𝑐
𝑎2 +𝑏 2 −𝑐 2
cos 𝐶 = Or 𝑐 2 = 𝑎2 + 𝑏2 − 2𝑎𝑏 cos 𝐶

We can apply the cosine rule when we are given three sides of a triangle and no
angle and we want to find an angle. We can apply the cosine rule when we are given
two sides and the third angle that is given is not the corresponding angle of either of
the sides given.

Vector Transforms made by Affan
Translation
• A translation is a type of transformation that moves every point of a
figure, or shape on a given coordinate plane by a given translation
vector.
In the example below the triangle x is translated (8,-5)

If scale factor is negative the enlargement looks like this.
If the scale factor is negative, the enlarged image is produced on the
other side of the center of enlargement, and appears upside down.
The enlargement appears rotated 180 degrees. (When the scale factor
is negative, the image is also rotation 180 degree.)
Center of enlargement
• The center of enlargement is a point or coordinate, which tells you
where to draw an enlargement.
• Depending on the coordinate of the center of enlargement, the
position of the enlarged image changes.
19
Prepared by Affan
Question On the grid, draw the image of shape P after an enlargement
with scale factor = 3 and center = (1, 3). Label the new shape formed P’.
20
Prepared by Affan
Determine the exact enlargement
• In enlargement, the image and the pre image have a different size.
• First determine the center of enlargement. This can be done by
drawing a line through each pair of corresponding points. The point at
which all the lines intersects, is the center of enlargement.
• We can determine the scale factor by:
𝑙′
= 𝑠𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑒 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟
𝑙
• Where 𝑙 and 𝑙′ are any two corresponding sides. 𝑙 ′ from the image
and 𝑙 from the pre-image.
Question Describe fully the single transformation that maps triangle X

Rotation
• Rotation is simply rotating a shape about a point or center of rotation.
• In exam, we will only be required to perform rotations of simple
shapes by 90°, 180°, 270° or 360°.
• In order to perform rotation on a shape, we need the following
information:
1. The point about which to rotate the shape (also called center of
rotation).
2. The direction of rotation (Clockwise or anticlockwise).
3. The degree of the rotation (90, 180, 270, 360).

How to find the exact rotation happening?
• We can find the center of rotation by drawing the perpendicular
bisectors for any two pairs of corresponding points. The point at which
the perpendicular bisectors intersect is the point about which the
rotation is taking place.
• We can find the angle and direction of rotation by finding the angle
between OA and OA'. Where O is the center of rotation, and A & A' are
any two corresponding point from the image and pre-image.
Find the transformation that maps triangle A into triangle B.

Reflection
• All the points on a shape or figure are flipped on a line called the line
of reflection or the axis of reflection.
• The line across which the shape is flipped can be thought of as a
mirror line.
• In order to perform a reflection on an object or shape we need to
know the equation of the line of reflection.
Perform a reflection
1. Plot the line of reflection. In order to plot a line, you find any two
points on the line, and join them.
2. For each point on the pre-image, find the line that is the shortest
distance from the point to the line of reflection, then find the
25
Prepared by Affan
corresponding point by doubling the distance line, keeping the mirror
line in the center.
