transformation rules

Front

What is congruence in geometry?

Back

Congruence refers to figures that have the same size and shape.

Front

What does translation mean in geometric transformations?

Back

Translation refers to the sliding of a figure from one position to another without changing its size, shape, or orientation.

Front

What is a 90° clockwise rotation?

Back

A 90° clockwise rotation is a transformation that turns a figure 90 degrees in the clockwise direction around a fixed point.

Front

What is a 270° clockwise rotation?

Back

A 270° clockwise rotation is a transformation that turns a figure 270 degrees in the clockwise direction around a fixed point.

Front

Define congruent figures.

Back

Congruent figures are geometric figures that have the same shape and size.

Front

What is the difference between rotation and translation?

Back

Rotation involves turning a figure around a point, while translation involves sliding a figure to a new position without changing its orientation.

Front

What is the effect of a reflection transformation?

Back

A reflection transformation flips a figure over a line, creating a mirror image.

Front

What is the line of reflection?

Back

The line of reflection is the line over which a figure is reflected to create a mirror image.

Front

What is a transformation in geometry?

Back

A transformation is an operation that moves or changes a geometric figure in some way.

Front

What are the four main types of transformations?

Back

The four main types of transformations are translation, rotation, reflection, and dilation.
