Understanding Transformations

The video tutorial introduces the concept of transformations in geometry, comparing them to transformers that change form. It explains the difference between pre-image and image, and describes four types of transformations: translation, reflection, rotation, and dilation. Real-world examples are provided, such as conveyor belts and mirrors. The tutorial also covers congruence and orientation, explaining how they relate to transformations. Finally, it analyzes specific transformations to determine congruence and orientation changes.

What is the term used for the original figure before a transformation?
