Questions and Answers

What is a reflection in geometry?

A reflection is a transformation that flips a figure over a line, creating a mirror image.

What is a rotation in geometry?

A rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point called the center of rotation.

What is a translation in geometry?

A translation is a transformation that slides a figure from one position to another without changing its shape or orientation.

What are the properties of a reflection in geometry?

A reflection in geometry is a transformation that flips a figure over a line, known as the line of reflection. It preserves the size and shape of the figure, but changes its orientation. Signup and view all the answers

Explain the concept of rotational symmetry.

Rotational symmetry is a property of a figure that remains unchanged when rotated by a certain angle around a fixed point called the center of rotation. The figure can be rotated multiple times and still look the same. Signup and view all the answers
