What is rotation in geometry?

Back

Rotation is a transformation that turns a shape around a fixed point, called the center of rotation.

What does reflection mean in geometry?

Back

Reflection is a transformation that flips a shape over a line, creating a mirror image.

Front

What is the result of reflecting a shape across the x-axis?

Back

Reflecting a shape across the x-axis flips it vertically, changing the sign of the y-coordinates.

Front

What is the difference between a rotation and a reflection?

Back

A rotation turns a shape around a point, while a reflection flips it over a line.

What does it mean if a figure is rotated 180 degrees?

Back

A 180 degrees rotation turns a shape upside down, effectively reversing its orientation.
