Part 6: Geometric Transformations 1

Front

What is a geometric transformation?

Back

A geometric transformation is a change in the position, size, or shape of a figure.

Front

What are the main types of geometric transformations?

Back

The main types are translation, rotation, reflection, and dilation.

Front

What does it mean for two figures to be congruent?

Back

Two figures are congruent if they have the same shape and size, and can be obtained from one another through transformations.

Front

What happens to the lengths of line segments during a rotation?

Back

The lengths of line segments remain the same during a rotation.

Front

What is translation in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What is reflection in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What is rotation in geometry?

Back

Rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point at a certain angle.

Front

What is dilation in geometry?

Back

Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure but keeps its shape the same.

Front

How do parallel lines behave under translation?

Back

Parallel lines remain parallel after a translation.

Front

What is the effect of a 90-degree rotation on the angles of a figure?

Back

The angles of the figure remain the same after a 90-degree rotation.
