A | B |
similar figures | Figures that have the same size but not necessarily the same size. |
corresponding angles | Matching angles of two similar figures. |
corresponing sides | Matching sides of two similar figures. |
indirect measurement | Using similar figures to find a missing measurement that is difficult to find directly. |
scale drawing | A proportional two-dimensional drawing of an object. |
scale model | A proportional three-dimensional model of an object. |
scale | A ratio that compares the measurements of a drawing of model to the actual measurements. |
scale factor | A scale without units. |
transformation | Changing a figure into another figure. |
image | The new figure formed by a transformation |
translation | A transformation in which a figure slides but does not turn. |
reflection | A transformation in which a figure flips over a line called the line of reflection. |
line of reflection | A line that a figure is flipped across to create a mirror image of the original figure. |
rotation | A transformation in which a figure turns around a point called the center of rotation. |
center of rotation | A fixed point about which a figure is rotated |
angle of rotation | The number of degrees a figure rotates. |
