Term | Definition |
---|---|
Vector | a quantity that has both direction and magnitude |
Initial Point | the starting point of vector |
Terminal Point | the ending point of vector |
Translation | a transformation along a vector such that the segment joining a point and its vector has the same length as vector and is parallel to it. |
Perpendicular Lines | lines that intersect at right angles |
Perpendicular Bisector | a line segment that is perpendicular to another segment at that segment midpoint |
Reflection | a mirror image with P that is mapped across line L from its preimage P |
Rotation | a transformation around point P = center of rotation |
Center of Rotation | the point does not move during rotation |
Angle of rotation | all angles with vertex P formed by a point and its image have the same measure |
Symmetry | if a rigid motion exists that maps the figure onto itself |
Line of Symmetry | if a reflection maps the figure onto itself |
Rotational Symmetry | symmetry that occurs if you can take the image, rotate it, and place it on itself |
Angle of Rotation Symmetry | greater than 0 degrees but less than or equal to 180 degrees, is the smallest angle of rotation that maps a figure onto itself |
