Front

Name the three types of rigid transformations.

Back

Rotations, Translations, Reflections.

Front

What happens to the orientation of a figure during a reflection?

Back

The orientation is changed.

Front

What is the result of a translation?

Back

The figure moves to a new location without changing its shape or orientation.

Front

Back

It turns the figure around a fixed point.
