Rigid Transformations Introduction

A transformation that “turns” a figure about a fixed point at a given angle and a given direction.

For each pair of figures, decide whether you can take figure A to figure B by translation, rotation or reflection.

Describe the Transformation

Describe two the transformations moves from A to A1

A type of transformation where a figure is “flipped” over a line of symmetry. A reflection produces a mirror image of a figure.

Determine how to translate triangle ABC to triangle A'B'C'. 

Which answer shows a reflection across the y-axis?
