What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation is a transformation that slides a shape in a straight line from one position to another without changing its size or shape.

Front

What is a rotation in geometry?

Back

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

Front

What is a dilation in geometry?

Back
