A transformation that preserves distance and angle measures, meaning the shape and size of the figure remain unchanged.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What are the types of rigid motions?

Back

The three types of rigid motions are translations, rotations, and reflections.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Define translation in the context of rigid motions.

Back

A translation is a rigid motion that slides a figure in a straight line from one position to another without changing its shape or orientation.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a rotation in rigid motions?

Back

A rotation is a rigid motion that turns a figure around a fixed point, called the center of rotation, by a certain angle.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a reflection in rigid motions?

Back

A reflection is a rigid motion that flips a figure over a line, creating a mirror image.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Back

False. Rigid motions do not change the size or shape of a figure.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
