Naming Rigid Transformations

Front

You can flip a figure across a _________.

Back

line of reflection

Front

A transformation that 'turns' a figure about a fixed point at a given angle and a given direction is called a _________.

Back

rotation

Front

Which side of EFGH corresponds with GH?

Back

LM

Front

Which of these does NOT show a rigid transformation?

Back

(Provide examples of transformations that do not preserve shape and size, such as stretching or skewing.)

Front

Triangle A is rotated 90° clockwise with the origin as the center of rotation to create a new figure. Which triangle shows the new location?

Back

B

Front

What is a rigid transformation?

Back

A transformation that preserves the shape and size of a figure.

Front

What is the difference between rotation and reflection?

Back

Rotation turns a figure around a point, while reflection flips it over a line.

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A transformation that slides a figure from one position to another without turning it.

Front

Define dilation in the context of transformations.

Back

A transformation that changes the size of a figure but not its shape.

Front

What is the center of rotation?

Back

The fixed point around which a figure rotates.
