Front

How are the side lengths and angle measures of triangle L'M'N' related to triangle LMN after a translation?

Back

The side lengths and angle measures are the same.

Front

What effect does a translation have on the properties of a two-dimensional figure?

Back

A translation does not change the size, shape, or orientation of the figure.

Front

What transformations are needed to move Figure B to Figure C?

Back

translation and reflection

Front

Define translation in geometry.

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between translation and reflection?

Back

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

Front

If a triangle is translated, what happens to its area?

Back

The area remains the same.

Front

Can a translation change the position of a figure on the coordinate plane?

Back

Yes, a translation changes the position but not the shape or size.
