| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Center of rotation | A fixed point around which a figure is rotated |
| Corresponding angles | Angles in the same relative position in figures |
| Corresponding sides | Sides in the same relative position in figures |
| Image | A figure that results form a transformation or sequence of transformations |
| Line of reflection | A line across which a figure is reflected |
| Reflection | A transformation that flips (reflects) a figure across a line to form a mirror image. This line is called the line of reflection. |
| Rigid transformation | A transformation in which the size and shape of the figure does not change |
| Rotation | A transformation that turns (rotates) a figure through a given angle and in a given direction around a fixed point. This point is called the center of rotation. |
| Transformation | A change in location, orientation, or size of a figure. |
| Translation | A transformation that moves (slides) each point of a figure the same distance in the same direction. |
