An object’s symmetry is somehow related to the fact that we can move the object in such a way that when all the moving is done, the object sits exactly as it did before.

Rigid Motions (page 374) rigid motion - The act of taking an object and moving it from some starting position to some ending position without altering its shape or size. equivalent rigid motions - Two rigid motions accomplish the same net effect. image - A rigid motion moves each point in the plane from its starting position P to an ending position P’. We call P’ the image of P under the rigid motion.
12
Reflections (page 375) reflection - A reflection of the plane is a rigid motion that moves an object into a new position that is the mirror image of the starting position. In two dimensions the mirror is a line, called the axis of the reflection. xx

FIGURE 11-5 Reflections are improper rigid motions. improper rigid motion - We say a reflection is an improper rigid motion to indicate that it reverses the left-right and clockwise-counter clockwise orientations.

Rotations (page 377) Rotations are proper rigid motions. rotation - For two-dimensional figures, a rotation is described by specifying a point called the center of the rotation (or rotocenter), and an angle indicating the amount of rotation. proper rigid motion - Any rigid motion that always leaves the original orientations (left,right,clockwise, counterclockwise) unchanged is called a proper rigid motion. identity motion - We will agree that not moving an object at all is itself a very special kind of rigid motion of the object, which we will call the identity motion.
