Orientation & Congruence

Front

What is orientation in geometry?

Back

Orientation refers to the direction in which a shape or object is positioned. It can be preserved or changed during transformations.

Front

What is congruence in geometry?

Back

Congruence means that two shapes or objects are identical in shape and size, allowing for rotations, translations, and reflections.

Front

Does dilation preserve congruence?

Back

No, dilation does not preserve congruence as it changes the size of the object.

Front

What transformation preserves orientation?

Back

Translation preserves orientation.

Front

What transformation does NOT preserve orientation?

Back

Reflection changes the orientation of the object.

Front

What is a reflection in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation is a transformation that moves a shape from one location to another without changing its size, shape, or orientation.

Front

What is a rotation in geometry?

Back

A rotation is a transformation that turns a shape around a fixed point at a certain angle.

Front

What are corresponding sides in congruence?

Back

Corresponding sides are the sides of two shapes that are in the same relative position.

Front

What is the effect of dilation on a shape?

Back

Dilation changes the size of a shape but keeps the same proportions.
