Translation, Reflection, Rotation

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 Reflection in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What is Rotation in geometry?

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 term for a transformation that slides a shape?

Back

Translation.

Front

What is the line called that a shape is reflected over?

Back

Line of reflection.

Front

If a shape is rotated 90 degrees clockwise, what happens to its position?

Back

The shape turns to the right, changing its orientation.

Front

What is the difference between Translation and Reflection?

Back

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

Front

Can a shape undergo multiple transformations at once?

Back

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

Front

What is the effect of a 180-degree rotation on a shape?

Back

A 180-degree rotation turns the shape upside down.

Front

What is an example of a real-life Reflection?

Back

A reflection can be seen in a mirror or a calm body of water.
