Transformations I CAN: Use the vocabulary of transformations. Identify the 4 isometries. Decide whether a transformation is an isometry. Develop a definition of reflection.
What is a Transformation A Transformation is a change in a figure’s position, shape, or size.
There are 2 kinds of transformations. Isometry : a transformation of a figure that does not change the size. It is often called a rigid motion. Not an isometry: a transformation that does change the size (for example, a dilation or a distortion)
Here are some examples. Which ones are isometries?
We will study dilations later. For now, we will focus on isometries, or rigid motions.
