What is reflection in geometry?

Back

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

What does it mean to perform a sequence of transformations?

Back

A sequence of transformations is a series of two or more transformations applied one after the other to a shape.

Front

Describe the transformation: A shape is rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

Back

The shape is turned around a point (usually the origin) by 90 degrees in a clockwise direction.
