Question | Answer |
---|---|
isometry | a transformation that oreserves lengths and angle measures. aka rigid transformation |
transformation | the operation that maps, or moves a preimage onto an image |
reflection | a type of transformation that uses a line that acts like a mirror called the line of reflection with an image reflected in the line |
reflection theorem | a reflection is an isometry |
line of symmetry | a line that a figure in the plane has if the figure can be mapped onto itself by a reflection in a line |
rotation | a type of transformation in which a figure is turned about a fixed point called the center of rotation. rays drawn from the center of rotation to a point and its image form an angle called the angle of rotation |
rotation theorem | a rotation is an isometry |
rotational symmetry | a figure in the plane has rotational symmetry if the figure can be mapped onto itself |
