Rigid Motion Transformation

Front

What is Rigid Motion Transformation?

Back

A transformation that preserves the shape and size of a figure, including translations, rotations, and reflections.

Front

What happens to a shape when it is rotated 360 degrees?

Back

The shape returns to its original position.

Front

Define congruent shapes.

Back

Two shapes are congruent if they have the same shape and the same size.

Front

What is a line of symmetry?

Back

A line that divides a shape into two identical halves, where each half is a mirror image of the other.

Front

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

Back

The shape is turned 90 degrees around a point, changing its orientation.

Front

What is the result of reflecting a shape over the x-axis?

Back

The y-coordinates of the points of the shape are inverted, creating a mirror image across the x-axis.

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A transformation that moves every point of a shape the same distance in the same direction.

Front

How do you determine if two shapes are similar?

Back

Two shapes are similar if they have the same shape but not necessarily the same size, and their corresponding angles are equal.

Front

What is the difference between rotation and reflection?

Back

Rotation turns a shape around a point, while reflection flips a shape over a line.

Front

What is the purpose of transformations in geometry?

Back

Transformations help in understanding the properties of shapes and their relationships in space.
