what are the 4 major types of transformations and real life examples
There are many different kinds of transformations. Maybe you'll find your answer in one of these sites.

cellular transformations? Math transformations? Real life?
Please expand.
The four major types of transformations are translation, rotation, reflection, and dilation. These transformations are commonly observed in both mathematics and real life.
1. Translation: A translation involves sliding an object from one location to another without changing its shape or orientation. For example, when you move a book from one spot on a table to another, you are performing a translation.
2. Rotation: A rotation occurs when an object is turned around a fixed point called the center of rotation. Think about a merry-go-round. As it spins, the horses or seats rotate around the center. Another everyday example is when you turn a doorknob to open a door.
3. Reflection: Reflection involves flipping an object over a line, creating a mirror image. For instance, when you look into a mirror, your image is reflected. Another example is when light hits a smooth surface, like a lake, and creates a reflection.
4. Dilation: Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of an object without altering its shape. It can either enlarge or reduce the size. A common example of dilation is when you use a zoom lens to take close-up or distant photographs. Another example is when you resize an image on your computer screen.
To further understand these transformations, you can experiment with physical objects or use virtual tools like drawing software or interactive websites that allow you to manipulate objects to observe the effects of translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations.
