Front

What type of transformation is performed when an object is slid in a specific direction without changing its shape or size?

Back

Translation

Front

What term describes the amount of rotation about a fixed point?

Back

Angle of rotation

Front

What do we call figures that have the same size and shape?

Back

Congruent

Front

What is the term for a transformation that results in a reduction or enlargement of a figure?

Back

Dilation

Front

What is the fixed point called around which a rotation occurs?

Back

Center of rotation

What is the term for a transformation that flips a figure over a line?

Back

Reflection

Front

What is the difference between congruent figures and similar figures?

Back

Congruent figures are the same size and shape, while similar figures have the same shape but may differ in size.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the angle of rotation in degrees?

Back

The angle of rotation is typically given in degrees, often specified in the problem.

Front

What is the effect of a dilation with a scale factor greater than 1?

Back

The figure is enlarged.
