| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Basic Rigid Motion | Transformations that preserves lengths of segments and measures of angles. |
| Composition of Transformations | Performing multiple transformations in succession. Example for proper rotation: r x-axis °r y-axis |
| Direct Isometry | an isometry that preserves orientation |
| Image | the figure that has undergone the transformation |
| Isometry | a transformation that preserves distance |
| Opposite Isometry | an isometry that changes orientation |
| Regular Polygon | A polygon with all sides of equal length and all interior angles of equal measure. It is equilateral and equiangular. |
| Note | To preform a rotation, we need a center of rotation, a direction, and an angle of rotation. We will be performing rotations on the coordinate plane where the center of rotation is the origin. A positive angle will be counterclockwise while a negative angle will be clockwise. |
