8-8 Transformation Matrices in 3-D Space
You can find the coordinates of each __________________ of a rectangular prism if
given 2 points from opposite corners.
EX1: A(2, 2, -2) and E(-3, -2, 1) are opposite corners of a rectangular prism.

a) Find the vector AE
b) Use the coordinates of the vector to find the coordinates of the other vertices.

c) Write the prism in matrix form.
Remember (chapter 2) that certain matrices can be used to ________________________
(rotate, flip, slide, dilate) a polygon.
Likewise, certain matrices can be used to transform ____________________________.
EX2: You are working on a computer animation project. You need to translate a prism
r
using the vector a = 3, 3, 0 . The vertexes of the prism have the following coordinates:
A(2, 1, -4) B(-1, -1, -4) C(-2, 3, -4)
D(-2, 3, 3) E(2, 1, 3) F(-1, -1, 3)
2. EX3: Let M represent the matrix from Example 1.
1 0 0
a) Find TM if T = 0 1 0
0 0 −1
b) Describe the transformation represented by matrix T.
