What is a rotation in geometry?

Back

A rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point, called the center of rotation, by a certain angle in a specified direction.

Front

What does 180 degrees clockwise rotation mean?

Back

It means turning a figure around a point in the clockwise direction by an angle of 180 degrees, resulting in the figure being upside down.

Front

What is a reflection in geometry?

Back

A reflection is a transformation that flips a figure over a line, creating a mirror image of the original figure.

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 the difference between clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation?

Back

Clockwise rotation moves in the same direction as the hands of a clock, while counter-clockwise rotation moves in the opposite direction.

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation is a transformation that moves every point of a figure the same distance in the same direction.

Front

What is the effect of reflecting a figure across the x-axis?

Back

Reflecting a figure across the x-axis flips it over the x-axis, changing the sign of the y-coordinates of the points.

Front

What is the effect of reflecting a figure across the y-axis?

Back

Reflecting a figure across the y-axis flips it over the y-axis, changing the sign of the x-coordinates of the points.

Front

What is a sequence of transformations?

Back

A sequence of transformations is a series of geometric transformations applied one after the other to a figure.

Front

What is the result of reflecting a figure over the x-axis and then the y-axis?

Back

The result is a figure that is flipped over both axes, effectively rotating it 180 degrees around the origin.
