| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Translation Postulate | A translation is a rigid motion |
| Reflection Postulate | A reflection is a rigid motion |
| Rotation Postulate | A rotation is a rigid motion |
| Composition Theorem | The composition of two (or more) rigid motions is a rigid motion |
| Reflections in Parallel Lines Theorem | If lines k and m are parallel, then a reflection in line k followed by a reflection in line m is the same as a translation. If A″ is the image of A, then 1. Seg AA″ is perpendicular to k and m, and 2. AA″ = 2d, where d is the distance between k and m. |
| Reflections in Intersecting Lines Theorem | If lines k and m intersect at point P, then a reflection in line k followed by a reflection in line m is the same as a rotation about point P. The angle of rotation is 2x°, where x° is the measure of the acute or right angle formed by lines k and m. |
