What is a transformation in geometry?

Back

A transformation is an operation that moves or changes a shape in some way to produce a new shape, called the image.

Define rotation in geometry.

Back

Rotation is a transformation that turns a shape around a fixed point, called the center of rotation, by a certain angle in a specified direction.

What is the effect of translating a shape?

Back

Translation moves a shape from one location to another without changing its size, shape, or orientation.
