Term | Definition |
---|---|
Literal Equation | An equation that has two or more variables |
Congruent Figures | Figures that have the same size and the same shape |
Corresponding Angles | Matching angles of two congruent figures △ △ ABC DEF |
Corresponding Sides | Matching sides of two congruent figures |
Transformation | This changes a figure into another figure. |
Image | The new figure formed by a transformation |
Translation | A transformation in which a figure slides but does not turn; Every point of the figure moves the same distance and in the same direction. |
Reflection | A transformation in which a figure is reflected in a line called the line of reflection; A reflection creates a mirror image of the original figure. |
Line of Reflection | A line that a figure is reflected in to create a mirror image of the original figure |
Rotation | A transformation in which a figure is rotated about a point called the center of rotation; The number of degrees a figure rotates is the angle of rotation |
Center of Rotation | A point about which a figure is rotated |
Angle of Rotation | The number of degrees a figure rotates |
Similar Figures | Figures that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size; Two figures are similar when corresponding side lengths are proportional and corresponding angles are congruent. |
Dilation | A transformation in which a figure is made larger or smaller with respect to a fixed point called this |
Center of dilation | A point with respect to which a figure is dilated |
Scale Factor | The ratio of the side lengths of the image of a dilation to the corresponding side lengths of the original figure |
