Front

What does it mean for a transformation to be congruent?

Back

It means the figure maintains its size and shape after the transformation.

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A transformation that moves every point of a figure the same distance in the same direction.

Front

What is a reflection in geometry?

Back

A transformation that creates a mirror image of a figure across a line.

Front

What is a rotation in geometry?

Back

A transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point at a certain angle.
