What is a Transformation in geometry?

Back

A transformation is an operation that moves or changes a shape in some way to produce a new shape.

Front

What are the three main types of transformations?

Back

Translation, Reflection, Rotation.

Front

Define Translation.

Back

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

Front

What is Reflection in geometry?

Back

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

Front

Explain Rotation.

Back

Rotation is a transformation that turns a shape around a fixed point, called the center of rotation, by a certain angle.

Front

What is the effect of a Translation on a shape?

Back

The shape moves to a new location without changing its size, shape, or orientation.

Front

How does Reflection affect the orientation of a shape?

Back

Reflection reverses the orientation of the shape, creating a mirror image.

Front

What happens to a shape during a Rotation?

Back

The shape turns around a fixed point, maintaining its size and shape but changing its position.

Front

Can a shape undergo multiple transformations? Give an example.

Back

Yes, a shape can undergo multiple transformations, such as first being reflected and then translated.

Front

What is the line of reflection?

Back

The line of reflection is the line over which a shape is flipped to create its mirror image.
