等積変形 equal area transformation Explanation: Area of parallelograms having the same height and standing on the same base are equal. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 12 hrs 41 mins (2005-10-08 14:04:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- this can also be called as area conserving transformation-any number of parallelograms can be drawn between same pair of parallel lines having same base and height without altering the area as shown in www.shinko-keirin.co.jp. |

等積変形 shear transformation Explanation: 日本語では剪断変換になるのだと思いますが、URLで示された変形のことを、英語の教科書っぽいページの一部には、この呼び方で載っていることがあります。たぶん、小学校で教えるときには、この呼び方なのではないかと思います。 http://www.sunsite.ubc.ca/DigitalMathArchive/Euclid/java/htm... http://www.google.com/search?num=50&hl=ja&c2coff=1&q="shear ... http://www.google.com/search?hl=ja&lr=lang_ja&ie=UTF-8&oe=UT... |

等積変形 shaving the shape Explanation: 等積変形 is to transform the geometric shape to a different shape without changing a size of area. http://www.e-zgeometry.com/ Notice we can transform every parallelogram into a rectangle without changing its base or its height. This is called shaving the shape. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days 2 hrs 26 mins (2005-10-09 03:48:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- As suggested by shellfrozen san, if this is limited to the rectangle to parallelogoram tranformation, the right phrase is the shear transformation. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Shear.html |

等積変形 Find another shape with the same area Explanation: There are no specific terms for this. The term "transformation" is university level mathematics, and your source is clearly aimed at junior highschool students. In addition, the word "isometric" means that the lengths remain the same, whereas the length of the side AB changes under the transformation. Google for "parallelogram" and "area" and you will find a whole pile of junior high level websites, with none of them using a specific term. |

等積変形 Isometric Transformations (Isometries) Explanation: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=isometric transformatio... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days 21 hrs 15 mins (2005-10-10 22:37:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Despite everyone's best efforts, it certainly seems that there is no commonly-used English expression for this term. In your translation, why don't you use "toseki henkei" (in romanized italics or whatever), followed by a description of the method in parentheses. For both you and the target reader of your translation, this may turn out to be the most accurate and user-friendly option. HTHAL, Kathy (-: |
