All side lengths in quadrilateral PQRS measure 4 units. A transformation maps PQRS to cap p prime cap q prime cap r prime cap s prime All sides of cap p prime cap q prime cap r prime cap s prime measure 1 unit. Is the transformation an isometric transformation? Explain.

An isometric transformation preserves the distance between points, so each side must keep its original length. Here, every side changes from 4 units to 1 unit, so the side lengths are not preserved. The figures may be similar, but the transformation is not an isometry.
