Identify the Transformation

Front

What is a transformation in geometry?

Back

A transformation in geometry refers to the movement of a figure in a plane. It can change the position, size, or orientation of the figure.

Front

Define translation in geometry.

Back

Translation is a type of transformation that slides a figure from one position to another without turning it. All points of the figure move 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 of the original figure.

Front

Explain rotation in geometry.

Back

Rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point, known as the center of rotation, by a certain angle.

Front

What is dilation in geometry?

Back

Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure but not its shape. It enlarges or reduces the figure based on a scale factor.
