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 does Reflection mean in geometry?

Back

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

Front

Define Rotation in geometry.

Back

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

Front

What is the result of a Translation?

Back

The result of a Translation is a new position of the shape, but the shape itself remains unchanged.

Front

What is the difference between Reflection and Rotation?

Back

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

Front

What is the fixed point in a Rotation called?

Back

The fixed point in a Rotation is called the center of rotation.

Front

Can a shape undergo multiple transformations?

Back

Yes, a shape can undergo multiple transformations such as Translation, Reflection, and Rotation in sequence.

Front

What is an example of a Reflection?

Back

An example of a Reflection is flipping a triangle over a line to create a mirror image.

Front

What does it mean to slide a shape?

Back

Sliding a shape refers to Translation, where the shape moves without changing its orientation.

Front

What is the angle of rotation?

Back

The angle of rotation is the degree measure of how far a shape is turned around the center of rotation.
