Unit 1: Understand Rigid Transformations and Their Properties Flashcards
a fixed point around which a figure is rotated
center of rotation
angles in the same relative position in figures
corresponding angles
sides in the same relative position in figures
corresponding sides
a figure that results from a transformation or sequence of transformations
image
a line across which a figure is reflected
line of reflection
a transformation that flips a figure across a line to form a mirror image
reflection
a transformation in which the size and shape of the figure does not change
rigid transformation
a transformation that turns a figure through a given angle and in a given direction around a fixed point
rotation
a change in location, orientation, or size of a figure
transformation
a transformation that moves each point of a figure the same distance and in the same direction
translation
in the direction of hands on a clock or toward the right on a circle
clockwise
In the opposite direction of hands on a clock or toward the left on a circle
counterclockwise
