Rigid Motion Transformations

Front

What is Rigid Motion?

Back

Rigid motion is a transformation that preserves distance and angle measures, meaning the shape and size of the figure remain unchanged.

Front

What are the types of Rigid Motion Transformations?

Back

The types of rigid motion transformations include translation, rotation, and reflection.

Front

Define Translation in the context of Rigid Motion.

Back

Translation is a type of rigid motion where a figure is slid from one position to another without turning or flipping it.

Front

What is the result of a transformation called?

Back

The result of a transformation is called the 'Image'.

Front

What is a Pre-image?

Back

A pre-image is the original figure before any transformation is applied.

Front

How do you translate a figure 5 units down and 3 units to the right?

Back

To translate a figure 5 units down and 3 units to the right, you add 3 to the x-coordinate and subtract 5 from the y-coordinate of each point.

Front

What is Reflection in Rigid Motion?

Back

Reflection is a transformation that flips a figure over a line, creating a mirror image.

Front

What is another name for Reflection?

Back

Another name for Reflection is 'flip'.

Front

Define Rotation in the context of Rigid Motion.

Back

Rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point, called the center of rotation.

Front

What is the center of rotation?

Back

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