Exploring Rigid Transformations in Geometry

The video tutorial introduces key concepts of rigid transformations, including reflection, rotation, and translation. It covers vocabulary such as pre-image, image, and congruence, and explains prime notation. Examples are provided to illustrate how to identify transformations and congruent figures, emphasizing the importance of corresponding parts and notation.

Which of the following is NOT a learning goal for rigid transformations?

• Calculating area of figures
