What is a transformation?
a change in position, size, or shape of a figure
39
What is a reflection?
the trasformation across a line called the line of reflection, each point anf its image are the same distance from the line of reflection
40
what is a translation?
A translation is a transformation in which all the points of a figure move the same distance in the same direction

What is a rotation?
A rotation is a transformation about a point P, called the center of rotation. Eacn point and its image are the same distance from P
42
What is a Pre-image?
The original figure in a transformation is called the preimage
43
Image?
The resulting figure of a transformation
44
What is inductive reasoning?
the process of reasoning that a rule or statement is true because specific cases are true
45
What is a conjecture?
A statement produced by inductive reasoning
46
A counterexample?
a specific example that proves a conjecture wrong
47
What is a conditional statement?
A statement that can be written in the form "If P, the Q"
48
What is a hypothesis?
the part P of a conditional statement following the word "if"
49
What is a conclusion?
the part Q of a conditional statement following the word "then"
50
what is truth value?
a conditional statement has a truth value of either "True" or "False"
51
What is a converse?
the statement formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion (Q -> P)
52
what is P?
hypothesis
53
What is Q?
conclusion
54
what is an inverse?
the statement formed by nullifying the hypothesis and conclusion (~p -> ~Q)
55
what is a contrapositive?
the statement formed by nullifying and exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion (~Q -> ~P)
56
logically Equivalent statement?
Related Conditional statements that have the same truth value are called logically equivalent statement
57
What is a Biconditional Statement
A biconditional statement is a statement that can be written in the from "P if and only if q". This means "If P then Q" and "If Q then P" (P Q)
58
WHat is a polygon?
