Term | Definition |
---|---|
transformation | change in size, shape, or position |
pre-image | original figure |
function | set of ordered pairs in which each x-value is associated with one and only one y-value |
mapping | pairing each member of the domain with each member of the range |
translation | rigid motion in which every point is moved the same distance and in the same direction |
directed line segment | distance and direction of a translation |
rhombus | parallelogram with 4 congruent sides |
reflection | a transformation in which a figure is flipped over a line |
line of reflection | the central line about which a figure produces its line of symmetry |
line of symmetry | an actual or imaginary line that creates a mirror image |
rotation | a transformation that maps points across a circular arc, preserves the distance of each point to the center of rotation |
rotational symmetry | a rotation of less than 360 degrees that can map the shape onto itself |
angle of rotational symmetry | smallest angle that can map a shape onto itself |
composition of transformations | two or more transformations performed in sequence |
congruent figures | a composition of rigid motions maps one figure to another |
