Name that Transformation!

Front

What is a transformation in geometry?

Back

A transformation in geometry refers to the movement of a shape in a plane. It can change the position, size, or orientation of the shape.

Front

Define Reflection.

Back

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

Front

Define Rotation.

Back

Rotation is a transformation that turns a shape around a fixed point, known as the center of rotation, by a certain angle.

Front

Define Translation.

Back

Translation is a transformation that slides a shape from one position to another without changing its size, shape, or orientation.

Front

What is the line of reflection?

Back

The line of reflection is the line over which a shape is flipped during a reflection transformation.

Front

What does it mean to rotate a shape 90 degrees clockwise?

Back

To rotate a shape 90 degrees clockwise means to turn the shape 90 degrees to the right around a fixed point.

Front

What is the difference between a rotation and a reflection?

Back

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

Front

What is a vector in the context of translation?

Back

A vector in translation indicates the direction and distance a shape moves from its original position.

Front

How can you identify a reflection in a set of points?

Back

You can identify a reflection by checking if corresponding points are equidistant from the line of reflection.

Front

What is the effect of a translation on the coordinates of a shape?

Back

A translation changes the coordinates of a shape by adding the vector values to each point's coordinates.
