Reflection, Rotation and Translation

Front

What is Translation in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What is Rotation in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What is Reflection in geometry?

Back

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

Front

Describe the effect of Translation on a shape.

Back

Translation shifts the position of a shape without changing its size, shape, or orientation.

Front

What happens to a shape during a Rotation?

Back

During a rotation, the shape maintains its size and shape but changes its orientation based on the angle of rotation.

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.

Front

How do you identify a Rotation?

Back

A rotation can be identified by the center of rotation and the angle through which the shape is turned.

Front

What is the difference between Translation and Reflection?

Back

Translation moves a shape without changing its orientation, while reflection flips a shape over a line, changing its orientation.

Front

Can a shape undergo multiple transformations?

Back

Yes, a shape can undergo multiple transformations, such as translating and then rotating.

Front

What is the angle of rotation?

Back

The angle of rotation is the measure of the degree through which a shape is rotated around a center point.
