Congruence in Geometry

Front

What is congruence in geometry?

Back

Congruence in geometry means that two figures have the same shape and size, allowing them to be superimposed on each other.

What is a tessellation?

Back

A tessellation is a pattern made of one or more shapes that fit together without any gaps or overlaps.

Front

Which of the following is NOT an example of a tessellation? Brick wall, Flower petals, Bee hive, Soccer ball

Back

Flower petals.

Front

What is a transformation in geometry?

Back

A transformation is an operation that moves or changes a geometric figure in some way, such as translation, rotation, reflection, or dilation.

Front

What is translation in geometry?

Back

Translation is a transformation that moves a figure to a different location without changing its size or orientation.

Front

What is the algebraic representation of translating a figure 3 units left and 5 units down?

Back

(x-3, y-5)

Front

In a translation, the Pre-Image and Image are ___________.

Back

Congruent.

Front

What is a reflection in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What is a rotation in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What is dilation in geometry?

Back

Dilation is a transformation that changes the size of a figure but keeps its shape, either enlarging or reducing it.
