A change in position, shape or size of a figure
|
Transformation |
|
pre-image
|
original figure |
|
Transformed geometric figure |
Image |
|
Isometry |
Preimage and image are congruent |
|
All points go the same distance in the same direction |
Translation
|
|
Combination of multiple transformations |
Composition of Transformations |
|
Line of Reflection
|
The line that a figure is reflected across |
|
All points of the preimage and image are equidistant from the same line |
Reflection |
|
Reflection |
Transformed figures are mirror images of each other |
|
Center of rotation |
All points of the figure are equidistant from this one point
|
|
Rotation
|
The geometric figure is turned around one point in this transformation |
|
Angle of Rotation |
How many degrees the figure is rotated |
|
A point equidistant from all vertices in a geometric figure |
Center |
|
Line Symmetry |
A figure with two equal sides, left and right, like a human.
|
|
If an image rotates 180 or less and doesn't change it has: |
Rotational Symmetry |
|
Each segment joining a point and it's 180 rotation image passes through the center when there is:
|
Point Symmetry |
|
Point Symmetry
|
If a figure has rotational symmetry, it also has: |
|
Symmetry |
If isometry maps the figure onto itself. |
|
Scale factor |
The ratio at which something is enlarged or reduced. |
|
Dilation |
A shrinking or reduction of a geometric figure. |
|
More than one reflection on a figure is |
Composition of Reflections |
|
A type of reflection that combines a translation and a reflection. |
Glide Reflection |
|
Tessellation |
Repeating pattern of figures |
|
If the interior angles is a factor of 360, then the figure can |
