the resulting figure after a transformation
image
the original figure before a transformation
preimage
a transformation about a point such that each part of the figure and its image are the same distance from the point, and such that all angles in the figure remain the same
rotation
a change in the position, size, or shape of a geometric figure
transformation
a property of a geometric figure that causes the figure to remain exactly the same even after it is transformed by reflection, rotation, or translation
symmetry
a drawing technique in which parallel lines are represented as converging in order to give the illusion of depth and distance
perspective
a repeating pattern that completely fills a space without creating any gaps and without overlapping the pattern
tessellation
a transformation in which the size, but not the shape, of a geometric figure is changed; the enlarging or reducing of a figure
dilation
