Geometry Unit 2 Flashcards
transformation
moves or changes a figure will make
image
transformed figure. P becomes Pā
isometry
a congruent transformation.
translation
an isometry that moves every point in a certain distance in a certain direction.
the arrows on the side of a translation mean
those 2 sides are parallel
motion rule
moves each point L, R, D, U.
rotation
transformation that turns a figure about a fixed point
glide reflection
a transformation w/a translation and reflection in the same problem (slide/flip)
composition of transformations
any 2 transformations combined to form a single transformation
line of symmetry
the figure can be mapped onto itself by a reflection in the line
rotational symmetry
the figure can be mapped onto itself by a rotation of 180* or less around a point.
