Rigid Motions Review

Front

What are rigid motions?

Back

Rigid motions are transformations that preserve the shape and size of a figure, meaning the distances and angles remain unchanged.

Front

True or False: Rigid motions preserve segment length.

Back

True

Front

What is the result of a transformation called?

Back

Front

Which of the following is NOT a rigid motion: Rotation, Reflection, Translation, or Dilation?

Back

Dilation

Front

What does a reflection do to a figure?

Back

Flips a figure.

Front

What is the difference between a pre-image and an image?

Back

A pre-image is the original figure before a transformation, while an image is the figure after the transformation.

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

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 size.

Front

What happens to the coordinates of a figure during a translation?

Back

The coordinates of each point of the figure are adjusted by adding or subtracting the same values.

Front

What is the effect of a rotation on a figure?

Back

A rotation turns a figure around a fixed point, changing its orientation but not its shape or size.

Front

What is the center of rotation?

Back

The center of rotation is the fixed point around which a figure is rotated.
