8.10C Rigid Motion

Front

What is Rigid Motion?

Back

Rigid motion is a transformation that preserves distance and angle measures. It includes translations, rotations, and reflections.

Front

What are the types of Rigid Motion?

Back

The types of rigid motion are: 1. Translation (sliding), 2. Rotation (turning), 3. Reflection (flipping).

Front

Define Translation in Rigid Motion.

Back

Translation is a type of rigid motion where a figure is moved from one location to another without changing its shape, size, or orientation.

Front

What is Rotation in Rigid Motion?

Back

Rotation is a rigid motion that turns a figure around a fixed point called the center of rotation.

Front

Explain Reflection in Rigid Motion.

Back

Reflection is a rigid motion that flips a figure over a line, creating a mirror image.

Front

What is the effect of Rigid Motion on the shape of a figure?

Back

Rigid motion does not change the shape or size of a figure; it only changes its position or orientation.

Front

How do you identify a Translation?

Back

A translation can be identified by observing that all points of a figure move the same distance in the same direction.

Front

What is the center of rotation?

Back

The center of rotation is the fixed point around which a figure rotates during a rotation transformation.

Front

How can you determine if a transformation is a reflection?

Back

A transformation is a reflection if each point of the original figure is mapped to a point on the opposite side of a line, equidistant from that line.

Front

What is the difference between Rigid Motion and Non-Rigid Motion?

Back

Rigid motion preserves distances and angles, while non-rigid motion can change the shape and size of a figure.
